Pair Extraordinaire Automation

Automate co-authored commits and collaboration workflows

April 19, 2026 I automated co-authored commits on GitHub (for better collaboration)

Collaboration on GitHub is great…
but giving proper credit? Not always.

Manually adding co-authors to commits gets annoying fast — especially when working in teams.

So I built Pair Extraordinaire Automation.

It’s a Python tool that:

  • Automatically adds co-authors to commits

  • Tracks contributors behind the scenes

  • Makes collaboration smoother and more transparent

This started as a small curiosity project…
but turned into a simple way to make teamwork feel more fair.

Because good collaboration isn’t just about shipping code — it’s about recognizing who contributed.

What I learned:
Tiny workflow improvements can have a big impact on team morale.

👉 Do you manually manage co-authored commits, or just ignore them?
