# Contributing to SymbiFlow Projects
There are a couple of guidelines when contributing to SymbiFlow Projects which are
listed here.
### Sending
All contributions should be sent as
[GitHub Pull requests](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork/).
### License
All software (code, associated documentation, support files, etc) in the
Symbiflow repositories are licensed under the very permissive
[ISC Licence](https://opensource.org/licenses/ISC). A copy can be found in the [`LICENSE`](LICENSE) file.
All new contributions must also be released under this license.
### Code of Conduct
By contributing you agree to the [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). We
follow the open source best practice of using the [Contributor
Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/) for our Code of Conduct.
### Sign your work
To improve tracking of who did what, we follow the Linux Kernel's
["sign your work" system](https://github.com/wking/signed-off-by).
This is also called a
["DCO" or "Developer's Certificate of Origin"](https://developercertificate.org/).
**All** commits are required to include this sign off and we use the
[Probot DCO App](https://github.com/probot/dco) to check pull requests for
this.
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to
pass it on as a open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you
can certify the below:
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.
then you just add a line saying
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
You can add the signoff as part of your commit statement. For example:
git commit --signoff -a -m "Fixed some errors."
*Hint:* If you've forgotten to add a signoff to one or more commits, you can use the
following command to add signoffs to all commits between you and the upstream
master:
git rebase --signoff upstream/master
