# knotless commits as git does on your machine

`knotless repo commit` with no `--author`, `knotless pull merge`, `pull update-branch` and `pull revert`, and the same tools over MCP on stdio, now author and commit as git would there (`user.name` and `user.email`), rather than as `<your did>@knotless.invalid`, which only knotless can tie to you. A history made with knotless reads on GitHub or any mirror as one made with git. With no git identity set, they commit as your account, as before. A runner landing the merge queue or writing back a workflow's files commits as `knotless`, whichever account it runs as.
