git-coauthor

Add coauthor to last commit

$ git coauthor "[Name]" "[email@example.com]"

$ git coauthor "[Name1]" "[email1]" "[Name2]" "[email2]"

git coauthor name email [name email]...

git coauthor adds Co-authored-by trailers to the last commit message. GitHub and GitLab recognize these trailers to attribute commits to multiple contributors.
The command amends the last commit, appending Co-authored-by lines in the format recognized by GitHub and GitLab. Multiple coauthors can be added in a single invocation.
This supports pair programming, mob programming, and collaborative coding workflows where attribution should reflect the actual contributors rather than just the person who typed the commit command.
