Please read the [coding guidelines](coding.md) document before submitting a PR.
#### Certificate of Origin
By contributing to this project you agree to the Developer Certificate of
Origin (DCO). This document was created by the Linux Kernel community and is a
simple statement that you, as a contributor, have the legal right to make the
contribution. See the [DCO](DCO) file for details.
Contributors sign-off that they adhere to these requirements by adding a
Signed-off-by line to commit messages. For example:
```text
subsystem: This is my commit message
More details on what this commit does
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
```
If you have already made a commit and forgot to include the sign-off, you can
amend your last commit to add the sign-off with the following command, which
can then be force pushed.
```console
git commit --amend -s
```
We use a [DCO bot](https://github.com/apps/dco) to enforce the DCO on each pull
request and branch commits.
#### Commit Messages
We follow a rough convention for commit messages that is designed to answer two
questions: what changed and why? The subject line should feature the what and
the body of the commit should describe the why.
```text
cephfs: update cephfs resize
use cephfs resize to resize subvolume
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
```
The format can be described more formally as follows:
```text
<subsystem>: <what changed>
<BLANK LINE>
<why this change was made>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>
```
The first line is the subject and should be no longer than 70 characters, the
second line is always blank, and other lines should be wrapped at 80 characters.
This allows the message to be easier to read on GitHub as well as in various
git tools.
Here is a short guide on how to work on a new patch. In this example, we will
work on a patch called *hellopatch*:
