git-coauthor: Insert an additional author to the last Git commit.

$ git coauthor ${name} ${name@example-com}

try on your machine

The command "git coauthor ${name} ${name@example-com}" is not a standard Git command. It appears to be a custom command or a command specific to a Git extension or plugin.

Without further information about the context or the specific extension or plugin being used, it is difficult to provide a precise explanation of the command. However, based on the command structure, it seems to be related to the concept of adding co-authors or contributors to Git commits.

In some Git extensions or plugins, there are features that allow you to include additional co-authors or contributors to a commit besides the main author. This can be helpful when multiple people are involved in the development process and want their contributions to be acknowledged.

The command template you provided suggests that the command expects two arguments: ${name} and ${name@example-com}. These arguments likely represent the name and email address of the co-author you want to add to the Git commit.

For example, if you wanted to include a co-author named John Doe with email address john.doe@example.com, you would replace the ${name} and ${name@example-com} variables with the actual values:

git coauthor John Doe john.doe@example.com

Again, it's important to note that this command may not be a standard Git command and its functionality can vary depending on the specific extension or plugin being used.
