It’s such a nice treat when I don’t see it on a new project, especially on Microsoft’s GitHub.
All it takes to remove Claude attribution is something like this
git filter-branch -f --msg-filter 'sed "/Claude/d"'That’s before realising things like DeepSeek don’t add the trailer
Be pleased that people are generally not trying to hide it, but also don’t trust its absence, look at the commit patterns
How does Claude attribution appear in the first place? I’ve written code with it before and it never shows up in GitHub.
If you tell Claude to commit for you it adds it then
Which highlights another situation of people telling it to let them handle the committing
Do you let Claude write your commit messages?
The reason I do is because it makes the agents more capable of working with the code in the future, they put more info into the commit messages than I do and when they look back the commit messages help them navigate the change history better.
Also, if you see a commit message that just looks whacked, completely missing the actual objective - that might be a Claude hallucination.
do you need clauds help in the bathroom too?
maybe it needs that data about you too to understand you better
You must not be working professionally.
If I ask an LLM to do something, the commit message is usually just the prompt. If it’s for code I wrote myself, my process is to take the message, read it over, then edit appropriately before running
git commitmyself. It seems that this last step is what does it.
I definitely do. But yeah a lot of people on GH are worried about employability and a big part of that is showing you’re down with big corpo tech.
I’m seeing Claude as a contributor all the time in random repos, but like, how does that even happen? In my experience with “agentic” coding, the agent does not get credit for commits, even if all diffs were made by them. What kind of workflows do people have for Claude to credit itself in a commit?
Claude has established precedent that Claude credits itself on commits unless you direct it not to. I don’t fight it, I would rather people looking back know… Yes, I used this tool - no, it’s not “responsible” for the code, I am.
Same for me, but that’s because I have a rule saying to the claude to not interact with git unless instructed, and I commit manually after reviewing every line of code changed. The bot runs in its own container, isolated from all credentials, so it can’t push commits and can’t access production. I also hate that the super long commit messages, so I just want to write it myself.
Basically if you are surrenderinf your entire PC to AI, then you’ll not get those commit messages authored by claude.
All my colleagues instead gave it access to the whole work pc including ssh keys, and the bot can do whatever the fuck it wants with the whole repo on github. It co-authors every single commit. Our master branch pushed straight to prod, and is not protected, and all our team is repo admin anyway. It’s complete insanity, bordering criminal negligence.
GitHub parses “Co-authored-by” trailers Claude Code adds to all its commits by default.
I have seen commits that were coauthored or something.
Maybe the official AI plugin makes github able to sign a commit by two entities?
It is with great pride that I can say that a GCP-HPC pure-bash application I’ve been working is completely AI free.
For the interested, it’s something I was working on while bored at work has been blessed as good use of time for the benefit of our dry lab. I’m hoping to be allowed to open source it. It’s basically a git-like interface between GCP head nodes and GCP buckets
I’ve been working on a fully open source Obsidian Notes clone for over a year, and now that the decompilation AI tool just dropped I’m not sure people will believe me when I say I didn’t use AI
Congrats, we all had AI free apps 2 years ago, and for the 50 years before that… Keep calm and carry on, what worked then, still works now.
Or, freak out - you just might consider having an agent like Opus 5.5 review your code and write you a report of its findings… if you don’t, others will - that’s the new landscape. If you do get “findings” in the report, I’d be curious to hear if any of them were both valid and concerning. I’m sure you won’t care about a lot of what it finds, but you might just be surprised by some things it does find.
Opus reviewing an entire codebase is pretty impressive. I use it a lot for some hobbyist stuff and its great at finding bugs, security issues, and just basic stuff like spelling/grammer mistakes.
But of course, on Lemmy you’ll get downvoted because “ai bad”

There was a time that was 100% true, I’m seeing a bit more from different points of view lately.
24 months ago I wasn’t saying “ai bad” I was saying “ai nearly useless.”
I’ll pass on the AI review. I’ll QA my work myself, thanks.
Honestly, passing on any code review is a pretty thick headed thing to do.
I only want the code reviewed by people. That’s not the same thing as passing on a review.
or let a person sold you for your shit code
IT’S FUCKING MEEEEE
you have the butthole profile pic??
Maybe 🗿
