Interesting, I wasn't familiar with this feature.
I'm a big fan of conventional commits, and trailers seem like a better way of adding such metadata.
Is adding them manually to the commit message functionally equivalent to using the `--trailer` flag?

- chuckadams 1y agoI like the idea of conventional commits, but the lack of many useful categories is a real `chore:` to where I end up making my own, which tooling of course doesn’t recognize. The codification of something called conventional commits strikes me as kind of counterintuitive anyway.
- imiric 1y agoWell, they're just commonly used commit types. I don't follow the "spec" strictly and have my own conventions as well. I don't use any tooling that reads them, and I'd probably write my own if needed. I mainly find them helpful for sticking to atomic commits. If a change doesn't align with the commit type, or it touches too many parts of the codebase, that means it should be in a separate commit.
