Your first contribution to Upstream

If you find a bug or see an issue you'd like to fix, we are keen on receiving a contribution from you.

We accept contributions through Upstream Patches -- our first version of Pull Requests in Upstream. Follow this guide to create your first patch.

In case there's an issue with Upstream Patches, we are also accepting Pull Requests through GitHub as a fallback option.

Certificate of Origin

We require commits to be signed off to show your agreement to the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). This means that the messages of all your commits must include the following line at the end.

Signed-off-by: John Doe <john.doe@example.com>

You can create commits with this line by running git commit -s.

The DCO was created by the Linux Kernel community and is a simple statement that you, as a contributor, have the legal right to make the contribution.
