Description

In the GitLens Git Graph inside VS Code, my commits are always shown as “You”.
In most other Git tools, like the GitKraken desktop app, I can see my name or initials instead — for example, “JJ” for Jan Jäger.

It would be great to have an option in GitLens to choose how I want to see myself in the graph:
• “You” (current behavior)
• My initials with Author My full name

This would make the graph clearer and more consistent with other Git tools and your own other Products.

I have added an Screenshots from VSCode and the installed Gitkraken desktop app.
