+## Sign off Your Work
+
+The Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) is a lightweight way for contributors to certify that they wrote or otherwise have the right to submit the code they are contributing to the project.
+[Here is the full text of the DCO](http://developercertificate.org/).
+Contributors must sign-off that they adhere to these requirements by adding a `Signed-off-by` line to commit messages.
+
+```text
+This is my commit message
+
+Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <[email protected]>
+```
+
+Git even has a -s command line option to append this automatically to your commit message:

+```text
+git commit -s -m 'This is my commit message'

 ### Don't reinvent the wheel
 
 This hardening project doesn't intend to reinvent the configuration stack for services. Aim to use official configuration projects first and provide hardening as a layer on top. The goal is remove the need for a user to configure all aspects of services and maintain security configuration. This way, the user can still configure a service using the interface provided by the official project.
