Github question

Ill just ask here, for example here it says Schmoo authored Nighoo commited https://github.com/mangos-one/server/commit/7464f97571c0886b6453898f035173568d3e1e44

Does this mean Schmoo or Nighoo wrote the code? And how does this workflow really work? I just wanna know how the workflow really works.

commiter can provide author data when commit added to repo. In command line case this something like:

git commit --author="lillecarl <[email protected]>"

Then i will be commiter and you will be author of created commit.

Ah i see, so in this case Nighoo gave schmoo a patch?

EDIT: I mean schmoo "gave" Nighoo a patch? (backported from master)?

If commiter set author for commit then he meaning that author write/prepare all/most added in commit code.

Sometime in result applied by commiet cleanup/improve codesyle or another reasons commit code can be different from original patch ofc.

In case backporting to another mangos repos commit cherry-picked from main mangos repo direcly by use cherry-pick command or by using special script

created in past for simplify like backports. Ofc, commiter often do some locla chnages after cherrypick for make backported commit compatible with related clietn version
