 Importantly, not always commits of each and every PR need to be squashed before merging. When extensive changes are being made, it often makes sense to keep them unsquashed (e.g. to make reviewing easier), but trivial fixes should still be squashed to the main commits.
 
+=== Citing co-authors in a git commit message ===

+For co-authors, it is suggested using `Co-authored-by` at the end of the commit message:
+
+{{{
+...
+
+Co-authored-by: name <name@example.com>
+}}}
+
+An empty line (i.e., two new lines) is necessary and sufficient (GitHub documentation is little confusing there, but the generally that's what's accepted).
