Thank you for your interest in contributing to NvNmos.

If you find a bug, please report it via the issues tracker, or suggest a fix via a pull request. If you have ideas or would like to work on new features, please open an issue for discussion with use cases before opening a PR, so that others can contribute to the design or in case it turns out to be something we are already working on internally.

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:

$ git commit -s -m "Add cool feature."

This will append the following to your commit message:

Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.com>
