Pull Request Template

What are you trying to address

  • Expand Git Guidance section to include content on techniques that may be useful for attributing and tracking AI-generated code in repositories, including:
    • How GitHub SWE Agent uses Co-authored-by trailers to denote authorship similar to pair programming
    • How a team might choose to use a custom trailer as part of a convention on tracking commits with substantial AI authorship
    • How to use git trailers in general ("Who knew!?")

I did not fully revise/refresh the page about GitHub's VS Code extensions.

I am reviewing where to place this content for effectiveness. I think that I should add some git trailers information to the main page about Git, and update the page about using coding assistants to include the example suggestions about attribution.
