+ Add a `Signed-off-by` trailer by the committer at the end of the commit
+ log message. The meaning of a signoff depends on the project
+ to which you're committing. For example, it may certify that
+ the committer has the rights to submit the work under the
+ project's license or agrees to some contributor representation,
+ such as a Developer Certificate of Origin.
+ (See http://developercertificate.org for the one used by the
+ Linux kernel and Git projects.) Consult the documentation or
+ leadership of the project to which you're contributing to
+ understand how the signoffs are used in that project.
++
+The --no-signoff option can be used to countermand an earlier --signoff
+option on the command line.
