## Commit Sign-off

We require that all contributors "sign-off" on their commits. This certifies
that the contribution is your original work, or you have rights to submit it
under the same license, or a compatible license. Any contribution which contains
commits that are not signed off will not be accepted.

To sign off on a commit you simply use the `--signoff` (or `-s`) option when
committing your changes:

```
git commit -s -m "Add cool feature."
```

This will append the following to your commit message:

```
Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.com>
```

By signing off on your commits you attest to the [Developer Certificate of Origin
(DCO)](https://developercertificate.org/). Full text of the DCO:
