GitHub存储库如何通过明显的提交获得零贡献者？

Question

我注意到GitHub repository没有明显提交的贡献者。这怎么可能？

Answer 1

提交者电子邮件与任何 GitHub帐户无关。通过选择随机提交，添加添加.patch后缀，您可以看到：

na@gmail.com可能与任何GitHub帐户无关。

您可以按照以下步骤创建此类存储库：

# Create the Git repo locally
$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo/
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /.../foo/.git/

# Create some files
$ echo 'foo' > index.js
$ ls
index.js

# Create the commit, but pass an invalid email address
# or one you are sure that is not associated with *any*
# GitHub account
$ git add . -A
$ git commit -m 'Initial' . --author 'foo <fooooooo_or_invalid_email_address_which_is_not_on_github@bar.com>'
[master a34597b] Initial
 Author: foo <fooooooo_or_invalid_email_address_which_is_not_on_github@bar.com>
 Date: Wed May 31 13:51:19 2017 +0300
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
 create mode 100644 index.js

# Add the GitHub url
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:IonicaBizau/tmp42.git

# Push the repo
$ git push --all

 * [new branch]      master -> master

然后在Github repo页面上你会看到：

点击提交网址并添加.patch后缀（以获取原始信息）：
