Creating a commit with multiple authors or on behalf of an organization

Creating a commit with multiple authors

Add one or more Co-authored-by trailers to a commit message to attribute a commit to multiple authors.

Required co-author information

Before adding a co-author, get the email address they want used in the trailer. For the commit to count as a contribution, use an email address associated with their account on お使いの GitHub Enterprise Server インスタンス.

If a co-author keeps their email address private, use their GitHub-provided no-reply email. See コミットメールアドレスを設定する.

Creating co-authored commits using GitHub Desktop

You can use GitHub Desktop to create a commit with a co-author. See GitHub Desktop でプロジェクトの変更をコミットしてレビューする and GitHub Desktop.

Creating co-authored commits on the command line

1. 各 co-author (共同作者) の名前とメール アドレスを収集します。

2. Type your commit message and a short, meaningful description of your changes. After your commit description, add an empty line instead of a closing quotation mark.

   $ git commit -m "Refactor usability tests.
   >
   >
   

3. Add one Co-authored-by: name <name@example.com> line for each co-author, then add the closing quotation mark.

   $ git commit -m "Refactor usability tests.
   >
   > Co-authored-by: NAME <NAME@EXAMPLE.COM>
   > Co-authored-by: ANOTHER-NAME <ANOTHER-NAME@EXAMPLE.COM>"
   

The new commit and message appear on お使いの GitHub Enterprise Server インスタンス after you push. See コミットをリモートリポジトリにプッシュする.

Creating a commit on behalf of an organization

Add an on-behalf-of: trailer to a signed commit to attribute it to an organization. To use the trailer, you must be a member of the organization, and both your commit email and the organization email must be in a domain verified by the organization.

Creating commits with an on-behalf-of badge on the command line

   >
   >
   

2. Add on-behalf-of: @org <name@organization.com>, then add the closing quotation mark.
