              git mailmap.md
            
          
    git .mailmap file

Steps


Use this good git alias

git config --global alias.summary '! git shortlog --summary --numbered --email --all --no-merges'


Run git summary at the root of the repo, you'll get something like

517  Muhammad Sulaiman <muhammad.b.sulaiman001@gmail.com>
514  Muhammad <m.sulaiman001@gmail.com>
468  My Friend <90533@LAPTOP-ABV>
8  Friend Name <hi@there.com>


Create .mailmap file at repo root, first line tells git that this name has this e-mail, second line tells git that there is another alias for this name-email, that uses this second email.. and so on

Muhammad Sulaiman <muhammad.b.sulaiman001@gmail.com>
Muhammad Sulaiman <muhammad.b.sulaiman001@gmail.com> <m.sulaiman001@gmail.com>
Friend Name <hi@there.com>
Friend Name <hi@there.com> <90533@LAPTOP-ABV>


Run git summary again, you'll get something like

1031  Muhammad Sulaiman <muhammad.b.sulaiman001@gmail.com>
476  Friend Name <hi@there.com>
