The team behind the XYZ Hub gratefully accepts contributions via pull requests filed against the GitHub project.
As part of filing a pull request we ask you to sign off the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) in each commit. Any Pull Request with commits that are not signed off will be reject by the DCO check.
A DCO is lightweight way for a contributor to confirm that you wrote or otherwise have the right
to submit code or documentation to a project. Simply add Signed-off-by as shown in the example below
to indicate that you agree with the DCO.
An example signed commit message:
README.md: Fix minor spelling mistake
Signed-off-by: John Doe <[email protected]>
Git has the -s flag that can sign a commit for you, see example below:
$ git commit -s -m 'README.md: Fix minor spelling mistake'
