4.3.3 Signing off commits

Contributing to OSI projects, it is necessary to agree to the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). Contributors agree to the DCO by adding a Signed-off-by statement to the commit message.

Signed-off-by: Firstname Lastname <email@address.com>

If a commit does not include the Signed-off-by statement, this commit cannot be merged into the master branch.

To add a sign-off statement to a commit add -s or --signoff to the commit command:

git commit -m "Commit message" -s
