[Feature] username in blame

[SpotlightForBugs]

Hi, I'd love to have my username on GitHub show up in the Git Blame.
I also don't like that committed code has my Legal name in the Blame, while uncommitted code just says "You"

I want it to say either "You" or (in my case) "SpotlightForBugs" at all times. Spotlightforbugs (You) would be great to have as well.

Hi, there are some options under Settings > Version Control > GitToolBox > Blame > Author name but they depend on what is in commit author field.
To have GH username would mean integrating with GitHub directly, which I have planned but it won't be coming soon. Fastest way would be to add some mapping based on commit author.
As for "You" - it's a nice idea, I'll add it.

Hiii @zielu, thank you so much for your prompt response!

I believe there might be a straightforward solution that avoids the need for GitHub integration:

You could simply request the user’s commit email address and GitHub username (or their username in general). Then, internally, replace the email address with the username if they match.

This approach should cover most use cases and is incredibly easy to implement! 😊

Ps: please tag me if there's an update on the matter
