+### Helping contributors with the DCO
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The [DCO or `Sign your work`](
|
|
|
+https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#sign-your-work)
|
|
|
+requirement is not intended as a roadblock or speed bump.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Some Docker contributors are not as familiar with `git`, or have used a web based
|
|
|
+editor, and thus asking them to `git commit --amend -s` is not the best way forward.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+In this case, maintainers can update the commits based on clause (c) of the DCO. The
|
|
|
+most trivial way for a contributor to allow the maintainer to do this, is to add
|
|
|
+a DCO signature in a Pull Requests's comment, or a maintainer can simply note that
|
|
|
+the change is sufficiently trivial that it does not substantivly change the existing
|
|
|
+contribution - i.e., a spelling change.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+When you add someone's DCO, please also add your own to keep a log.
