Contributing

Any person or company wanting to contribute to Grain Framework should follow the following rules in order to their contribution being accepted.

Sign your Work

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 "Adding a new widget driver for cogs."

This will append the following to your commit message:

Signed-off-by: Your Name <[email protected]>

By doing this you certify the below:

Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1

If you wish to add the signoff to the commit message on your every commit without the need to specify -s or --signoff, rename .git/hooks/commit-msg.sample to .git/hooks/commit-msg and uncomment the lines:

SOB=$(git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT | sed -n 's/^\(.*>\).*$/Signed-off-by: \1/p')
grep -qs "^$SOB" "$1" || echo "$SOB" >> "$1"

Developer's Certificate of Origin
