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 GitHub Enterprise Server 인스턴스.

If a co-author keeps their email address private, use their GitHub-provided no-reply email. See 커밋 메일 주소 설정.

Creating co-authored commits using GitHub Desktop

You can use GitHub Desktop to create a commit with a co-author. See GitHub Desktop에서 프로젝트 변경 내용 커밋 및 검토 and GitHub Desktop.

Creating co-authored commits on the command line

  1. 각 공동 작성자의 이름 및 메일 주소를 수집합니다.

  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 GitHub Enterprise Server 인스턴스 after you push. See 원격 리포지토리에 커밋 전송.
