solve this problem by sending an ask ticket

Hello IT friends,

In the past, IT friends have been nice enough to move all of our team's machines to the CF vlan and update the DNS entries for all of our machines in SF and LA.
We've gotten new machines since then, and we'd like to be able to SSH on to each other's workstations so we can continue our usual workflow.
Could you please help us out?

Here's a list of our machines:

SF:
compton
dakota
lyon
bayside
vicente
haight
zorro
[other machines you might want to add]

LA:
labrea
crenshaw
doheny
amherst
victory
imperial
corley
larchmont

Happy to answer any follow up questions you might have.

Sincerely,
the Networking Program

Troubleshooting

Both Co-Authored-By and Signed-Off-By in commit message

You must manually remove the /.git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg file in each repo and then run git init to complete opting out of using Co-Authored-By.
