# How to Contribute to Jaeger
We'd love your help!
Jaeger is [Apache 2.0 licensed](LICENSE) and accepts contributions via GitHub
pull requests. This document outlines some of the conventions on development
workflow, commit message formatting, contact points and other resources to make
it easier to get your contribution accepted.
We gratefully welcome improvements to documentation as well as to code.
# Certificate of Origin
By contributing to this project you agree to the [Developer Certificate of
Origin](https://developercertificate.org/) (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.
## Making A Change
*Before making any significant changes, please [open an
issue](https://github.com/uber/jaeger/issues).* Discussing your proposed
changes ahead of time will make the contribution process smooth for everyone.
Once we've discussed your changes and you've got your code ready, make sure
that tests are passing (`make test-ci`) and open your PR. Your
pull request is most likely to be accepted if:
* It has a [good commit
message](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html).
* Each commit must be signed by the author ([see below](#sign-your-work)).
## License
By contributing your code, you agree to license your contribution under the terms
of the [Apache License](LICENSE).
If you are adding a new file it should have a header like below.
```
# Copyright (c) 2017 The Jaeger Authors.
#
# Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
# you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
# You may obtain a copy of the License at

```
## Sign your work
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 an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you
can certify the below (from
[developercertificate.org](http://developercertificate.org/)):
```
Developer Certificate of Origin
Version 1.1
Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
660 York Street, Suite 102,
San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
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 to every git commit message:
Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe@gmail.com>
using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
You can add the sign off when creating the git commit via `git commit -s`.
If you want this to be automatic you can set up some aliases:
```
git config --add alias.amend "commit -s --amend"
git config --add alias.c "commit -s"
```
