Take a look at the following commit. Observe how the author of this commit is Hendrik! But if you look at the summary of all commits, then you find that most commits have been authored by me.

What happened is that Hendrik sent me a patch formatted in such a way that git was able to understand who authored this patch. Maybe he used the instructions here, or he figured it out himself. It doesn’t matter.

But, if you want your name to show as an author in the logs of the stacks project, then you can do this too!
