The motivation behind creating this tool is to provide an easy way to give credit to contributors in various situations:

- In open-source projects, when a pull request (PR) is closed without merging but the idea or code is later implemented. - During pair programming sessions, where two or more developers work together on a single commit.

Existing solutions were either too complicated or didn't work as expected, so Git Add Co-Author was developed as a simple, easy-to-use alternative.
