"Co-Authored-By: Claude" in my commits? 100%

· Published · 1 min read

Do you own the Co-Authored-By: Claude lines in your commits and PRs?

Me… 100% :)

Working flat out with AI and trying to hide every trace of it makes no sense today.

The job is changing, and that’s normal.

Co-authored does not mean “eyes closed”

And careful: co-authored does not mean “Claude did everything and I accepted it with my eyes closed”. The commit remains my responsibility, even if I did not type the lines by hand.

That holds on my own projects as much as on the ones where I come in to lend a hand.

Not seeing it is suspicious

I would almost go as far as saying that not seeing any co-authored is suspicious.

Either AI isn’t being used (in 2026… not a good sign), or it’s hypocrisy (not much better).
