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

Commit message

Co-authored-by: Aloïs de Gouvello <[email protected]>
Co-authored-by: torendil <[email protected]>

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

You can do it by hand or rely on Coby:

During the Hacktoberfest it is common to have reviewers helping a lot. Since the event seems to forget how their contributions are important to the well being of the project, you can define them as co-author. Happy coding!
