You can add multiple authors to a git commit, by adding one or more `Co-authored-by` trailers to the commit's message:
|
|
|
|
```shellsession
|
|
$ git commit -m "Refactor usability tests.
|
|
>
|
|
>
|
|
Co-authored-by: name <name@example.com>
|
|
Co-authored-by: another-name <another-name@example.com>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Notes:
|
|
|
|
- To correctly attribute a commit to a co-author, you must use the email associated with their GitHub account.
|
|
- If a person's email is private, you can use their GitHub-provided `no-reply` email.
|
|
- Leave one or preferably two empty lines before any `Co-authored-by` trailers.
