What does "--thor" mean?

[jomar]

Looking at the linked script, it indicates which cow orker to credit.

To the OP: You might be able to simplify the script by using `git commit --trailer …`. Or maybe you tried that and it didn't display the message in the editor window satisfactorily?

Thanks for the hint, `--trailer` is a nicer solution than overriding the commit template!

For some reason `--trailer` is not available on my system, so I'd need to upgrade git, it seems.

Probably an example of a name, so that the added commit comment line has “Coauthored-by: Thor”
