1. The file name can be anything, it doesn't get used for aliases, it's just the file name. The first name at the top of the file is the one that will be displayed, the others will all get mapped as aliases to the first.Barbie wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 10:53 am Can anyone explain in short
1) How author aliases work?
2) How to get that aliases file into the repository.
My guess: the name of the alias file is the name of the author and the text lines in it are the aliases. But the file name character set may be restricted.
2. You can open a PR on the repo, or just share a text file here and I can add it for you.

Simple example for later reference:
