First name for inline blame?

[ipkpjersi]

Hi,

I took a look and it seems like as far as I can tell, there's no duplicate issue for this and basically there's no way to be able to display only the author's first name for inline blame? This would be a really awesome feature for me to only display the author's first name in the inline blame.

Cheers.

Hey, would you like the inline blame display to be Optional. This may indeed be a nice improvement.

Best.

Yeah, I think having it be optional would be nice - you could pick either full name or first name.

Added 2 new formatting tokens ${authorFirst} and ${authorLast} that can be used in inline blame, commit hovers, etc

For example, they can be used in the following settings:
gitlens.currentLine.format -- inline blame
gitlens.hovers.detailsMarkdownFormat -- blame hovers
gitlens.blame.format -- file blame
gitlens.views.formats.commits.* -- commits in views
gitlens.statusBar.format -- status bar blame
gitlens.statusBar.tooltipFormat -- status bar hover

Can you please verify this fix in tomorrow's (v2024.09.25xx) pre-release edition of GitLens? Thank you so much!
