VS Code inserting ‘Co-Authored-by Copilot’ into commits regardless of usage

VS Code 在未经用户许可的情况下,自动在提交记录中插入“Co-Authored-by Copilot”

This pull request changes the Git extension’s git.addAICoAuthor setting so that AI co-author trailers are enabled by default. This makes the default behavior automatically add a “Co-authored-by” trailer to Git commits whenever AI-generated code contributions are detected.

此项合并请求(Pull Request)修改了 Git 扩展的 git.addAICoAuthor 设置,将 AI 联合署名(AI co-author trailers)功能设为默认开启。这意味着当检测到 AI 生成的代码贡献时,系统会自动在 Git 提交记录中添加“Co-authored-by”署名。

The configuration schema default was changed from “off” to “all”. While this was intended to streamline the attribution of AI-generated code, it has sparked significant backlash from the developer community.

配置架构的默认值已从“关闭”(off)更改为“全部”(all)。虽然此举旨在简化 AI 生成代码的归属标注,但却在开发者社区中引发了强烈抵制。

Many users expressed frustration, questioning why such a significant change to commit metadata was enabled by default without explicit user consent or clear notification. Comments on the repository include reactions like “Why in the world would you default this!” and “Making this default behavior and not notifying users is crazy.”

许多用户对此表示不满,质疑为何在没有用户明确同意或清晰通知的情况下,默认开启这种会修改提交元数据的行为。仓库中的评论包括:“为什么要默认开启这个!”以及“将其设为默认行为且不通知用户简直太疯狂了。”

The change was merged into the main branch on April 16, 2026, and added to the 1.117.0 milestone. As of now, the community continues to voice concerns regarding the transparency and autonomy of these automated Git contributions.

该变更已于 2026 年 4 月 16 日合并至主分支,并被纳入 1.117.0 版本里程碑。截至目前,社区仍在就这些自动化 Git 贡献的透明度和用户自主权问题表达担忧。
