This document lists the differences between the contribution guidelines for this repository.
This repository uses a Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). DCO is an easier process to adhere to. Full text of DCO can be found below, formatted for readability.
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 it under the open source license indicated in the file; or
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it.
(d) I understand and agree that this 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 consistent with this project or the open source license(s) involved.
Contributors sign-off that they adhere to these requirements by adding a Signed-off-by line to commit messages.
This is my commit message
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <[email protected]>
Git even has a -s command line option to append this automatically to your commit message:
$ git commit -s -m 'This is my commit message'
If you've pushed a commit and forgot to sign it, fear not, you can sign it as follows:
git commit --amend -s
Modify the commit message (if desired) -- do not modify the Signed-off-by
line. Exit edit mode (esc
followed by :x
and then Enter
).
Now force-push the changes by running:
git push origin +[branch-name]
Refer to the official documentation for modifying multiple commits or an example with screenshots.
If all else fails, ask the LoopBack team for help :)
