Anthropic's Claude Code allows users to disable commit attribution

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Claude Code, a tool from Anthropic, automatically adds a "Co-Authored-By: Claude" trailer to commits and pull requests. This feature can be disabled by modifying the user's settings.json file to remove the attribution for commits and pull requests. The author of the post explains that this trailer is unnecessary as Claude's output is already watermarked, and it can lead to confusion by appearing as a contributor on GitHub repositories. AI

IMPACT Allows developers to customize the attribution of AI-generated code, reducing noise in version control history.
