more useful commit data made by by the mintlify web editor

[bguiz]

working with a mintlify git repo, and when another collaborator edits the contents in the mintlify web editor, in the git logs ...

actual result

I see some commits on the main branch that look like this. (copied below)
there is no way to tell from the git logs who made this change.
I can find out what the change is about by looking at the git commit, but not from the logs.

commit 50613948178f26740e9413975b34a30e2fc02788 (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD)

Documentation edits made through Mintlify web editor

expected result
I see some commits that are attributed to the github user/ username of the collaborator who was actually performing the edits, with (optionally) the mintlify bot as the co-author.

The commit description includes a 1 liner gen AI summary of the diff.
The commit description includes "Documentation edits made through Mintlify web editor for the following pages" followed by a list of files that were updated.

Hey there,

You can get commits attributed to the actual collaborator by having each team member authorize Mintlify to their GitHub account. Once authorized, commits made through the web editor will be signed as if they made them directly, rather than showing as mintlify[bot].

You can find more details about this in the documentation here: https://www.mintlify.com/docs/editor

For the additional features you mentioned (AI-generated commit summaries, file lists in commit descriptions, and co-author attribution), those would be great enhancements! You can submit these as feature requests at: https://github.com/orgs/mintlify/discussions/categories/feature-requests

where the product team can review them and the community can vote on them.

Best, Lexi
