So, we use bots (e.g., Renovate) to create PRs for things, in that case, dependency updates.
When squash-merging one of those PRs, I think the Author should already be the bot user's username (you see only the bot user in the index when merging, unless you've also updated the branch)
And yet, when actually merging, GitHub always adds, e.g.,
Co-authored-by: renovate[bot] <29139614+renovate[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
to the body of the PR's commit message when squash merging. Since the merge already shows up having the (and in the examples I looked at, I don't even see
Committer
being set separately), why does it add aCo-authored-by
note?I usually edit it out, but this behavior seems sub-optimal to me.
