Commit together with co-authors

.. it’s easy to see why more developers than ever are writing code collaboratively.

.. Commit co-authors makes it easy to see who has contributed to every commit, regardless of how many contributors there are—and every author gets attribution in the pull request and in their contribution graph.

How it works

To add co-authors to a commit, just add one or more “Co-authored-by” trailers to the end of the commit message:

<span style="color: #444444;">Commit message</span>

<span style="color: #444444;">Co-authored-by: Joel Califa <602352+califa@users.noreply.github.com></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">Co-authored-by: Matt Clark <44023+mclark@users.noreply.github.com>
</span>

Include your trailers at the end of your commit message, and have at least one line of white space before them.
