Per section 13.a of the Hyperledger Charter, all code submitted to the Hyperledger Foundation needs to have a Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) sign-off.
The sign-off needs to use your legal name, not a pseudonym. Git has a built-in
mechanism for this using the -s
or --signoff
argument to the git commit
command, providing your user.name
and user.email
are setup correctly.
For more information about DCO, see the Besu wiki. If you have any questions, you can reach us on the Besu channel on Discord.
