- Developer Certificate of Origin: Signing your work
The Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) is a lightweight way for contributors to certify that they wrote or otherwise have the right to submit the code they are contributing to the project. Here is the full [text of the DCO](https://developercertificate.org/), reformatted 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.
```bash
This is my commit message
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
```
Git even has a `-s` command line option to append this automatically to your commit message:
```bash
$ git commit -s -m 'This is my commit message'
```
Once commits have been signed and a PR has been open, wait for the CI process to finish and make sure all checks are green. A maintainer of the project will be assigned, and you can expect a review within a few days
- I didn't sign my commit, what do I do now?
You can easily replay your changes, sign them and force push them!
```bash
git checkout <branch-name>
git reset $(git merge-base main <branch-name>)
git add -A
git commit -sm "one commit on <branch-name>"
git push --force
```
