Option to disable automatic Copilot co-author trailer in git commits #1172

Hi! I’m building an agent on top of the GitHub Copilot SDK and noticed that when the agent creates commits through CLI/shell commands, the commit messages get this trailer appended automatically:

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

This seems related to the behavior discussed here:

github/copilot-cli#975

For my use case, the host application already controls commit authorship and attribution, so I’d like a way to disable this automatic commit-message postfix from the SDK/CLI runtime.

Is there already a setting for this? If not, would you consider adding one, e.g. a client/session option to opt out of automatic Copilot commit attribution?

Thanks!
