+--where <placement>::
+--no-where::
+ Specify where all new trailers will be added. A setting

+ `end` or `start`.

+--if-exists <action>::
+--no-if-exists::

+ least one trailer with the same <token> in the message. A setting
+ provided with '--if-exists' overrides all configuration variables
+ and applies to all '--trailer' options until the next occurrence of

+ `addIfDifferentNeighbor`, `add`, `replace` and `doNothing`.
+
+--if-missing <action>::
+--no-if-missing::
+ Specify what action will be performed when there is no other
+ trailer with the same <token> in the message. A setting

Output only the trailers, not any other parts of the input.
A convenience alias for `--only-trailers --only-input
--unfold`.
+--no-divider::
+ Do not treat `---` as the end of the commit message. Use this
