We'll use the issue thread to discuss and refine the idea before moving
79
forward.

## developer certificate of origin (DCO)
82
+
83
+
We require all contributors to certify that they have the right to
84
+
submit the code they're contributing. To do this, we follow the
85
+
[Developer Certificate of Origin
86
+
(DCO)](https://developercertificate.org/).
87
+
88
+
By signing your commits, you're stating that the contribution is your
89
+
own work, or that you have the right to submit it under the project's
90
+
license. This helps us keep things clean and legally sound.
91
+
92
+
To sign your commit, just add the `-s` flag when committing:
93
+
94
+
```sh
95
+
git commit -s -m "your commit message"
96
+
```
97
+
98
+
This appends a line like:
99
+
100
+
```
101
+
Signed-off-by: Your Name <your.email@example.com>
102
+
```
103
+
104
+
We won't merge commits if they aren't signed off. If you forget, you can
105
+
amend the last commit like this:
106
+
107
+
```sh
108
+
git commit --amend -s
109
+
```
110
+
111
+
If you're submitting a PR with multiple commits, make sure each one is
112
+
signed.

+

+
For [jj](https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/) users, you can add this to
115
+
your jj config:
116
+
117
+
```
118
+
ui.should-sign-off = true
119
+
```
120
+
121
+
and to your `templates.draft_commit_description`, add the following `if`
122
+
block:
123
+
124
+
```
125
+
if(
126
+
config("ui.should-sign-off").as_boolean() && !description.contains("Signed-off-by: " ++ author.name()),
127
+
"\nSigned-off-by: " ++ author.name() ++ " <" ++ author.email() ++ ">",
128
+
),
129
+
```
130
+

+
