    c3d4e5f  10:00  refactor auth module

  3 commits
In --all mode, your own name is highlighted as “You” in the output. Other authors are listed by their git author name.
  • Defaults to your git config user.name when no author is specified
  • If your git user name is not set, gx prints ERROR Cannot determine your git user. Set git config user.name or specify an author.
  • Uses --all flag on git log to search across all branches
  • Date grouping shows “Today”, “Yesterday”, or the date (e.g., “Apr 10”) for older entries
  • The repo name shown in the header is derived from the repo root directory name
