How do I get the Pair Extraordinaire Badge?

[slezercc]

You can earn the pair extraordinaire badge by co-authoring a pull request that then gets merged. Here is how to do so: https://github.blog/2018-01-29-commit-together-with-co-authors/

Why it is so important to have it, then I should like fake it?

When committing to a repo, use the following command in the Description section:
Co-authored-by: name name@example.com
Co-authored-by: another-name another-name@example.com

Then create a pull request and merge it. This worked for me.

[PreyumKr]

You mean there should be more than one co author ?

[UKVeteran]

Coauthor 1 is you.
Coauthor 2 is someone else.

So coauthour 1 is lets say you
Coauthor 2 can be me

[UKVeteran]

So, basically, when committing to a repo, use the following command in the Description section:
Co-authored-by: preyumkrsingh@gmail.com
Co-authored-by: jmashfaque@gmail.com

Then create a pull request and merge it. This should do the trick.

[PreyumKr]

Not writing the names as shown in github docs will work too then that's great.
I'll give it a try in my next PR.
Thanks 😊

git cli?

[jun1485]

This is one way to do it

1. create a branch and commit changes
2. get a collaborator to commit changes on the same branch
3. create a pull request
4. merge to default branch using squash and merge

[TDGNate]

And have the "Co-authored-by: name@gmail.com" as one of the commits?

[dollpriyanka]

did not work for me

[iamGolden]

Thanks. It kinda worked. I got the YOLO badge instead of Pair Extraordinaire Badge.

[karianmash]

Tried all of the above solutions but none has worked for me yet

[dollpriyanka]

did not work for me

[NobleOsinachi]

You need to add them as collaborators before including them as co author

[NobleOsinachi]

did not work for me

You need to use the email that is verified on your collaborators GitHub

I will walk you through on how I did it.

1. Make sure you have a collaborator to your repo
2. Create a new branch
3. When committing the changes, right after you finished typing your commit message don't close the double quotes. Instead add 2 newlines or just press Enter 2x and on the third line, add the following.

Co-authored-by: Joel Califa <602352+califa@users.noreply.github.com>
Co-authored-by: Matt Clark <44023+mclark@users.noreply.github.com>

4. The whole commit process should look like below

git commit -m "some message
>
>
Co-authored-by: Joel Califa <602352+califa@users.noreply.github.com>
Co-authored-by: Matt Clark <44023+mclark@users.noreply.github.com>
"

5. The > represents the newline.

@gitonga-deus's comment worked for me!

I followed the steps below to get the Pair Extraordinaire Badge:

1. Download the Github Desktop application and install it. https://desktop.github.com/
2. Clone one of your repositories using GH Desktop app
3. Create a branch
4. IMPORTANT: Make sure you have added a Collaborator to the repo via github.com settings collaborator menu
5. Make changes to your code
6. Before you commit the changes using the GH Desktop app add a Co-Author, this can be found just above the Commit button
7. Publish the changes
8. Create a pull request
9. Merge to default branch using squash and merge

Hope that helps someone.

[Aroson1]

Thanks a lot, this works!

[tonngw]

[nirmals-workspace]

[jees47]

1. create a branch and commit changes

4. merge to the default branch using squash and merge

[paulo-granthon]

Interesting, didn't know this way to get it was possible as well

[BhagyaAmarasinghe]

Pair extraordinaire can be achieved by co-authoring a commit. You have to include Co-authored-by: NAME <NAME@EXAMPLE.COM> in your commit message. For exmple:

$ git commit -m "Refactor usability tests.
>
>
Co-authored-by: NAME <NAME@EXAMPLE.COM>
Co-authored-by: ANOTHER-NAME <ANOTHER-NAME@EXAMPLE.COM>"

Github documentation for co-authoring commits:
https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/committing-changes-to-your-project/creating-and-editing-commits/creating-a-commit-with-multiple-authors

[iamvirul]

you can easily do that using the GitHub desktop application

[developerSL-cyber]

perfect

[RochaDiego04]

I watched this video, in the minute 10:05.
You just have to download github desktop and assign the changes you do to other person as a co-author.

You get this by implementing these steps:

1- Install Git desktop
2- Create a new repo
3- Add a collaborator
4- Create new branch-like feature/update-readme & write something in readme file
5- From the Git desktop add a commit message and description, and under the description ADD COLLABORATOR
6- Commit the message and publish the branch
7- Create Pull request and merge it.

[umerdaula]

[Revoluti0n]

1. Create a repo;

2. Go to this repo settings, on the left options access the "Collaborators" then add some account; (https://github.com/{your_username}/{your_repo_name}/settings/access)

3. After the invitation for collab accepted, just create some branch on this repo, make some changes and push it:
   git checkout -b {branch_name}

...do some changes...

git add .
git commit -m "Some message

Co-authored-by: {username} <{user_email}>
Co-authored-by: {collab_username} <{collab_user_email}>"
git push origin {branch_name}

4. Go to the repository, create a PR from the created branch then merge it.

Thats it.

[senioreng]

Hey @Revoluti0n
Thank you for your message.

Is it mandatory thing for the collaborator to add a commit to the same PR?

[senioreng]

And also adding a collaborator is also the mandatory thing?

[Revoluti0n]

To obtain the "pair extraordinaire" badge, you need at least one other collaborator. It's literally as I described above.. you can mention yourself and another account that has been added as a collaborator.

The badge levels are something like 1-10-25-100 for level 1-2-3-4..

[senioreng]

Thank you @Revoluti0n
