Don't commit using Github

You have created this commit using Github, which sadly results in a corrupted commit.
- The messages of all commits that were created using
git
end with a newline character. When a commit was created using Github, then that newline sadly is missing.I have reported this a few times over the last few years but they simply do not care. I find this quite embarrassing; it’s the sort of bug I would usually fix within 24 hours. Then again I am a single human, and as such naturally have higher standards than multi-billion dollar companies.
- The committer is
GitHub <noreply@github.com>
, which I find insulting. The “committer” is not the same thing as the tool used to create the commit. Neithergit
, Magit nor any other decent client does this. - The author email address might be
USERNAME@users.noreply.github.com
. That’s not very helpful when someone needs to contact you.
So please, clone your fork and fix the commit before force-pushing to your fork again. Also please don’t ever use Github again to create commits in one of my repositories; in fact you might want to stop doing that altogether.
