--trailer in git commit messages can't be stopped

Support Bug Reports
4

Hey, thanks for the report. There are two separate issues here:

  1. About the --trailer flag

This is an Attribution feature - you can turn it off:
Cursor Settings > Agents > Attribution - just toggle it off.

  1. About ignoring edited commands

This is a known bug - when you edit a suggested command before running it, the agent still executes the original version. That’s why your commit messages ended up with the wrong text.

The team is aware. For now, the workaround is to not edit the command, but to cancel and ask the agent to suggest the needed command directly (for example: “commit with message X, no trailer”).

Let me know if adjusting the Attribution setting resolves at least the first part of the issue.
