Sign your work
To facilitate tracking of who did what, we've adopted a "sign-off"
procedure for patches based on the procedure used by the Linux kernel
project.
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right
to pass it on as a patch under an appropriate license. The rules are
pretty simple: if you can certify the below:
Developer's Certificate of Origin
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me,
and I have the right to submit the contribution under the
license indicated in, or otherwise designated as being
applicable to, the file.
(b) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
person who certified (a), and I have not modified it.
(c) I understand and agree that the project and the
contribution are public and that a record of the
contribution (including all personal information I submit
with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely
and may be redistributed.
then you just add a line saying
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
git commit --signoff will add such a Signed-off-by line by at the end of
the commit log message for you.
Happy Hacking!
