Problem
The co-authorship hook example in the git-workflows documentation had critical bugs that would prevent it from working:
modified_msgvariable contained actual newlines, which broke the JSON structureSolution
Fixed by using
jq -nwith--argto properly handle string escaping and JSON construction:\n\nfor newlines in bash variable instead of literal newlinesThis ensures the hook will work correctly when adding co-author trailers to git commits.
