It's a useful feature in git, but a bug in github.
In my company's git repo, yes, I want full control.
In a public forum where lots of my public image is tied up, I don't want people to be able to impersonate me.
It's a tricky one to solve, though. Not sure how it would be achieved without demanding that every commit is GPG signed.
- djur 12y agoIt seems like it'd be possible to at least restrict your GitHub account from appearing linked to a commit unless it's a repo you've contributed to directly (by pushing or with a pull request). That would need to be configurable, though -- it would kind of suck to lose credit for commits just because they weren't merged using GitHub's tools.
- click170 12y agoWhy is PGP signing an unacceptable solution in your use case? It sounds like that's what I would do given a pressing need to ID a committer.
- gluxon 12y ago@davidbanham May I quote you on that? I think I focused too much on the cool factor and not the problem I was trying to address. (Which you summed perfectly.)
