It uses git blame to identify surviving code\u2014the lines that remain in the file\u2014and displays the authors responsible for them. You add it to your MkDocs configuration, then use the {{ git_page_authors }} template tag or customize your theme to show author attribution.\n\nThe plugin requires access to full git history to work correctly, which matters in CI/CD environments where shallow clones are common. The fact sheet notes that GitHub Actions, GitLab, and Bitbucket pipelines need specific configuration to fetch the full history (fetch_depth: 0, GIT_DEPTH: 0, or clone: depth: full respectively). It supports Python 3.8 through 3.13 and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use MkDocs and want automatic author attribution from git history. The plugin is lightweight, permissively licensed, and carries no security vulnerabilities. The aging maintenance status (430 days since release) is a minor concern but the repository remains active and supports current Python versions. Ensure your build environment is configured to fetch full git history, or author data will be incomplete."},"id":"mkdocs-git-authors-plugin","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mkdocs-git-authors-plugin","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mkdocs-git-authors-plugin.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mkdocs-git-authors-plugin/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mkdocs-git-authors-plugin","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Mkdocs plugin to display git authors of a page"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":388940,"position":7033,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.10.0"}
