69+ Git supports adding "trailers" to a commit message. Contributors
70+ submitting pull requests that contain co-authored commits are
71+ ** strongly encouraged** to add a specific "Co-Authored-By:"
72+ git commit message trailer for contributions that were co-authored.
73+ This is especially important for contributions that were co-authored by
74+ AI-assisted code generators, for example
75+ ```
76+ commit some-hash
77+ Author: Somebody <somebody@example.com>
78+ Date: Mon Jun 30 16:41:18 2025 -0600

82+ Explain what it is.
83+
84+ Co-authored-by: Some Tool
85+ ```
86+ You can also use the --trailer option to git commit to produce these.
