# How to Contribute We'd love to receive your patches and contributions. Please keep your PRs as draft until such time that you would like us to review them. ## Code Reviews All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. Consult [GitHub Help](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/) for more information on using pull requests. ## Pipeline Ensure you run the linter prior to submitting your pull request and the CI-CD pipeline is green before removing the draft designation. ```bash ./cosmos1/scripts/format.sh ``` ## Signing Your Work * We require that all contributors "sign-off" on their commits. This certifies that the contribution is your original work, or you have rights to submit it under the same license, or a compatible license. * Any contribution which contains commits that are not Signed-Off will not be accepted. * To sign off on a commit you simply use the `--signoff` (or `-s`) option when committing your changes: ```bash $ git commit -s -m "Add cool feature." ``` This will append the following to your commit message: ``` Signed-off-by: Your Name ``` * Full text of the DCO: ``` Developer Certificate of Origin Version 1.1 Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors. 1 Letterman Drive Suite D4700 San Francisco, CA, 94129 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. ``` ``` 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. ```
