# Contributing guidelines for meta repo ## Prerequisites ### Linux DCO / CLA By contributing patches, you agree to the [Linux DCO] and sign-off your commits by adding a `Singed-off-by` trailer on your commit message via `git commit --signoff`. **For community contributors**: We do not require to sign our CLA in most projects (like this), although if we adopt the Apache CLA (instead of rolling our own via Canonical's [Project Harmony]), we'll assume your CLA signature will make your agreement to DCO legally binding.
