Description

Add support for mkdocs-git-authors-plugin to display the authors on the bottom of a page.

Disclaimer: I'm the author of the plugin. Also note the original idea is from mkdocs-git-committers-plugin but that plugin is only for github. The author and I discussed integration but decided to split into separate plugin (see byrnereese/mkdocs-git-committers-plugin#9)

Use Cases

When enabled, each markdown page will display the name of the committers (as specified in their .gitconfig). It uses git blame so only considers

Screenshots / Mockups

Implementation can be done by updating base.html just below the page.meta.git_revision_date block:

{% if git_authors_summary %}
<small>
    Written by: {{ git_authors_summary }}
</small>
{% endif %}

We can localize the "Written by" by adding a new language item, f.e. source.revision.date.

If this fits with mkdocs-material I'd be happy to work on a PR ! Todo:

• Add translations
• Update base
• Add CSS similar to .md-source-date
• Add page to docs website
• ...
