We have the same requirements for using the signed-off-by process as the Linux kernel. In short, you must include a ``Signed-off-by`` tag in every patch. +An easy way to do this is to use ``git commit -s`` where ``-s`` will automatically +append a signed-off line to the end of your commit message. Also, if you commit +and forgot to add the line you can use ``git commit --amend -s`` to add the +signed-off line to the last commit. + ``Signed-off-by`` is a developer's certification that they have the right to submit the patch for inclusion into the project. It is an agreement to the :ref:`Developer's Certificate of Origin <developers-certificate-of-origin>`. |
