claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature Request] Make git commit co-author footer configurable per project [1 comments, 1 participants]

TL;DR

Allowing project-specific configuration of the commit footer tag, such as using "Assisted-by" instead of "Co-authored-by", could resolve the issue.

Guidance

• Investigate the CLAUDE.md override mechanism to understand why it's not consistently working as expected.
• Consider adding a project-level setting to specify the desired commit footer tag, defaulting to "Co-authored-by" for backwards compatibility.
• Review the system prompt used by Claude to determine if the tag is indeed being inserted from there and if it can be easily modified.
• Evaluate the impact of changing the default tag on existing projects and workflows.

Notes

The solution may require changes to Claude's configuration or code, and careful consideration of backwards compatibility and project-specific requirements.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Allow project-specific configuration of the commit footer tag, as this would provide the necessary flexibility for projects like the Linux kernel to use their preferred "Assisted-by" tag.
