$ git authors --list

The command "git authors --list" is not a default Git command. It seems to be a custom command or an extension provided by a specific Git plugin or script.

Without further context or information about the specific tool or plugin you are using, it is difficult to provide an accurate explanation of what the command does.

However, based on the command's name, it is possible that the "git authors --list" command lists all the authors associated with the Git repository. This could include the names and email addresses of individuals who have contributed to the repository, or perhaps it provides a summary of the authors and their contribution statistics.

To determine the exact functionality of the command, you could refer to the documentation or help files of the Git extension or plugin you are using, or consult the author of the script or plugin.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
