## Developer Certificate Of Origin

The [Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)][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.

Contributors to the Strimzi project sign-off that they adhere to these requirements by adding a Signed-off-by line to commit messages.

```shell
This is my commit message

Signed-off-by: John Doe <JohnDoe@somewhere.org>
```

Git even has a -s command line option to append this automatically to your commit message:

```shell
git commit -s -m 'This is my commit message'
```

If you have already made a commit and forgot to include the sign-off, you can amend your last commit to add the sign-off with the following command, which can then be force pushed.

```shell
git commit --amend -s
```
