The --trailer option to git interpret-trailers knows how to interpret configuration options and expand them. For example, you could abbreviate "Co-authored-by" as "cab", and if you used that alias, you could write "git commit --trailer='cab=peff'" and then have your command look up "peff" and find the proper identification either from your repo or from your Git hosting solution of choice (or wherever). -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
