- Remembers and Auto selects the previously used byLines
- Displays a preview before amending of the final commit message for confirmation
- Currently supports adding unlimited contributors

There are no specific commands to remember or configurations to setup before use.
The code is triggered upon any git commit command performed within any git repo.
Thereby achieving that natural flow similar to signing your name after writing an email.
git-byLines overloads the git command via shell function and is triggered upon any git commit command.
It can also be triggered manually via the shell function byLines.
A config file named .config.byLines.json is automatically generated inside of each repo and is recommended to be added to source control.
