Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
I use Cursor’s agent for commits, and it adds a Made-with: Cursor trailer to every commit message. I don’t want this for several reasons:
Clean history – I prefer plain, professional commit messages without tool attribution.
Team rules – Some teams forbid AI tool mentions in commits and PRs.
No choice – There doesn’t seem to be a way to turn this off; the trailer is added even when I don’t use --trailer.
Extra work – To remove it I have to rebase/amend outside Cursor, which is tedious and error-prone.
Request: Add a setting (e.g. in Cursor Settings → Features or Git) to disable injecting “Made-with: Cursor” and similar trailers into commit messages, so users can opt out when they don’t want attribution in their history.
Steps to Reproduce
Just using custom command in cursor:
commit-local-changes
Things to keep in mind:
- No mention of Cursor in commits: Do not add “Co-authored-by”, “Done by AI”, or any Cursor/similar phrases to commit messages. When creating commits from the agent, use only the subject/body you write (e.g.
git commit -m "message"or-F file). If the environment still appends Co-authored-by, tell the user to amend or rebase in a terminal outside Cursor (where that injection does not run) to remove it. - No use of --trailer in the commit, it is strictly prohibited
- If added by mistake, then use amend to remove it yourself, don’t ask user to do it.
Could you check our local changes using git status, and create 1 or multiple commits with appropriate messages?

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
