About This Tutorial
I’ll never forget the day I logged into our GitHub repository, ready to check out the latest contributions from our team, only to be greeted by an avalanche of spam. You know the type - the kind that makes you question humanity and your life choices as a developer. It was like a digital version of a junk mail explosion. Ever had that sinking feeling? You’re not alone. So, there we were, a small team trying to do our best work, and suddenly we’re drowning in AI bot spam. We had to do something about it, and fast. That’s when I stumbled upon the Git -author flag.
