Option to add real names when the user is using a real name
See original GitHub issueDescription
I love the Adds the real name of users by their usernames
feature where it puts the real name in parenthesis next to it.
However personally I don’t like how it replaces the username inline if it’s the same as the real name. (e.g. Sindre Sorhus in the screenshot below). This issue: #2165
Would it be possible to make just the inline replacement an additional option? (Which could default to true for most people)
My use case is that I tend to copy/paste usernames from PRs into changelogs. Now I have to dig a little deeper to get their actual username. Not a big deal, I know, but thought it’d be worth asking.
If this sounds okay, I’d be happy to attempt the PR myself. Thanks!
