Every time Claude Code commits for you, it adds a line at the bottom of the commit message: Co-Authored-By, with the name of the model that wrote it. Every pull request it opens ends with "Generated with Claude Code".

That's on by default. Here's how to hide it, change it, or set it for your whole team, in one settings line.
