Narrowing the Author column in Magit
[Sat Aug 11, 2018]
The Org and Worg git repos can be committed to only via ssh protocol (and not https), and for technical reasons, I cannot commit to those repos via ssh from my primary development machine. So I ended up with a flow that involves pushing commits to those repos using my Nexus 6p phone.
Magit is how I git, and I love to primarily work from the
∗magit-log∗ buffer (M-x magit-status, l b). But the default
column widths were not optimal on a Nexus 6p 5.7" screen. And that’s
what inspired this tweak, which looks great on a regular desktop
monitor too.
