# Contributing to Docker open source projects
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Want to hack on this project? Awesome! Here are instructions to get you started.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This project is a part of the [Docker](https://www.docker.com) project, and follows
|
||
|
|
the same rules and principles. If you're already familiar with the way
|
||
|
|
Docker does things, you'll feel right at home.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, go read Docker's
|
||
|
|
[contributions guidelines](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md),
|
||
|
|
[issue triaging](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/project/ISSUE-TRIAGE.md),
|
||
|
|
[review process](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/project/REVIEWING.md) and
|
||
|
|
[branches and tags](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/project/BRANCHES-AND-TAGS.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For an in-depth description of our contribution process, visit the
|
||
|
|
contributors guide: [Understand how to contribute](https://docs.docker.com/opensource/workflow/make-a-contribution/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Sign your work
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch. Your
|
||
|
|
signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise have the right to pass
|
||
|
|
it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify
|
||
|
|
the below (from [developercertificate.org](http://developercertificate.org/)):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```

||
|
|

Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then you just add a line to every git commit message:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe.smith@email.com>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you set your `user.name` and `user.email` git configs, you can sign your
|
||
|
|
commit automatically with `git commit -s`.
