## Sign-off your work
## Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)

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 [DCO](DCO), then you just add a line
to every git commit message:
We consider the act of contributing to the code by submitting a Pull
Request as the "Sign off" or agreement to the certifications and terms
of the [DCO](DCO) and [MIT license](LICENSE). No further action is required.
Additionally you could add a line at the end of your commit message.

```
Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe.smith@email.com>
```

Please use your real name; we really dislike pseudonyms or anonymous
contributions. We are in the open-source world without secrets. If you
set your `user.name` and `user.email` git configs, you can sign-off your
commit automatically with `git commit -s`.
If you set your `user.name` and `user.email` git configs, you can add the
line to the end of your commit automatically with `git commit -s`.
We assume in good faith that the information you provide is legally binding.
