Ensure you use a MailmapΒΆ
The social metrics need to identify each developer that contributes code. Unfortunately, it’s common that developers have multiple Git aliases, which will bias the social metrics.
You avoid that bias by providing the .mailmap
file (Git feature).
You add the .mailmap
file to the root of your repository.
It specifies a mapping from multiple aliases to
one for each developer as shown in Fig. 10.
CodeScene automatically uses the .mailmap
when it’s present.
Read the Git Documentation on mapping
authors for a
description on how to configure the .mailmap
.
