Message].
If you create a git commit for someone else it is helpful to set the
author of the commit so that they get credit. Ask them what name/alias
and email they would like to use. For example:
[source,bash]
-----------------
git commit --author "Bob Smith <bob@example.com>" ...
-----------------
If they prefer not to give an email then the email can be omitted, so
just "Bob Smith" in the above example.
