# Contributing

## Pull requests:

Changes to this project should be proposed as pull requests on Github
at: <https://github.com/lxc/distrobuilder>

Proposed changes will then go through code review there and once acked,
be merged in the main branch.


## License and copyright:

By default, any contribution to this project is made under the Apache
2.0 license.

The author of a change remains the copyright holder of their code
(no copyright assignment).


## Developer Certificate of Origin:

To improve tracking of contributions to this project we use the DCO 1.1
and use a "sign-off" procedure for all changes going into the branch.

The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
commit which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right
to pass it on as an open-source contribution.

An example of a valid sign-off line is:

```
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.org>
```

Use your real name and a valid e-mail address.
Sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions are allowed.

We also require each commit be individually signed-off by their author,
even when part of a larger set. You may find `git commit -s` useful.
