the abbreviated commit hash (e.g., 866cbcc)
.AuthorName
the author’s name, respecting .mailmap
.AuthorEmail
the author’s email address, respecting .mailmap

If the .GitInfo feature is enabled, .Lastmod (on Page) is fetched from Git i.e. .GitInfo.AuthorDate. This behaviour can be changed by adding your own front matter configuration for dates .
