|  | <p>Add or parse <em>trailer</em> lines that look similar to RFC 822 e-mail | 
|  | headers, at the end of the otherwise free-form part of a commit | 
|  | message. For example, in the following commit message</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="listingblock"> |

|  |  | 
|  | Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Signed-off-by: Alice <alice@example.com> | 
|  | Signed-off-by: Bob <bob@example.com></pre> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>the last two lines starting with "Signed-off-by" are trailers.</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>This command reads commit messages from either the | 
|  | <file> arguments or the standard input if no <file> is specified. | 
|  | If <code>--parse</code> is specified, the output consists of the parsed trailers | 
|  | coming from the input, without influencing them with any command line | 
|  | options or configuration variables.</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>Otherwise, this command applies <code>trailer.*</code> configuration variables | 
|  | (which could potentially add new trailers, as well as reposition them), | 
|  | as well as any command line arguments that can override configuration | 
|  | variables (such as <code>--trailer=..</code>. which could also add new trailers), | 
|  | to each input file. The result is emitted on the standard output.</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>This command can also operate on the output of <a href="git-format-patch.html">git-format-patch(1)</a>, | 
|  | which is more elaborate than a plain commit message. Namely, such output | 
|  | includes a commit message (as above), a "---" divider line, and a patch part. | 
|  | For these inputs, the divider and patch parts are not modified by | 
|  | this command and are emitted as is on the output, unless | 
|  | <code>--no-divider</code> is specified.</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>Some configuration variables control the way the <code>--trailer</code> arguments | 
|  | are applied to each input and the way any existing trailer in | 
|  | the input is changed. They also make it possible to | 
|  | automatically add some trailers.</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>By default, a <em><key>=<value></em> or <em><key>:<value></em> argument given | 
|  | using <code>--trailer</code> will be appended after the existing trailers only if | 
|  | the last trailer has a different (<key>, <value>) pair (or if there | 
|  | is no existing trailer). The <key> and <value> parts will be trimmed | 
|  | to remove starting and trailing whitespace, and the resulting trimmed | 
|  | <key> and <value> will appear in the output like this:</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="listingblock"> | 
|  | <div class="content"> | 
|  | <pre>key: value</pre> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>This means that the trimmed <key> and <value> will be separated by | 
|  | ': ' (one colon followed by one space).</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>For convenience, a <key-alias> can be configured to make using <code>--trailer</code> | 
|  | shorter to type on the command line. This can be configured using the | 
|  | <em>trailer.<key-alias>.key</em> configuration variable. The <keyAlias> must be a prefix | 
|  | of the full <key> string, although case sensitivity does not matter. For | 
|  | example, if you have</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="listingblock"> | 
|  | <div class="content"> | 
|  | <pre>trailer.sign.key "Signed-off-by: "</pre> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>in your configuration, you only need to specify <code>--trailer=</code>"sign: <code>foo</code>" | 
|  | on the command line instead of <code>--trailer=</code>"Signed-off-by: <code>foo</code>".</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>By default the new trailer will appear at the end of all the existing | 
|  | trailers. If there is no existing trailer, the new trailer will appear | 
|  | at the end of the input. A blank line will be added before the new | 
|  | trailer if there isn’t one already.</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>Existing trailers are extracted from the input by looking for | 
|  | a group of one or more lines that (i) is all trailers, or (ii) contains at | 
|  | least one Git-generated or user-configured trailer and consists of at |

|  | modify the <value> of the trailer that this option would produce.</p> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>When the specified command is first called to add a trailer | 
|  | with the specified <keyAlias>, the behavior is as if a special | 
|  | <em>--trailer <keyAlias>=<value></em> argument was added at the beginning | 
|  | of the "git interpret-trailers" command, where <value> |

|  | of these arguments, if any, will be passed to the command as its |
