Thanks for choosing to contribute!
The following are a set of guidelines to follow when contributing to this project.
This project adheres to the rtdl code of conduct - a direct adaptation of the Contributor Covenant, version 2.1. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to [email protected].
Start by filing an issue. The existing committers on this project work to reach consensus around project direction and issue solutions within issue threads (when appropriate).
rtdl is an open source product released under the MIT license (see the LICENSE file). The MIT license allows you to freely use, modify, distribute, and sell your own products that include MIT licensed software.
We respect intellectual property rights of others and we want to make sure all incoming contributions are correctly attributed and licensed. A Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) is a lightweight mechanism to do that.
The DCO is a declaration attached to every contribution made by every
developer. In the commit message of the contribution, the developer
simply adds a Signed-off-by statement and thereby agrees to the DCO,
which you can find below or at developercertificate.org.
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.
We require that every contribution to rtdl is signed with a DCO. Additionally, please use your real name. We do not accept anonymous contributors nor those utilizing pseudonyms.
Each commit must include a DCO which looks like this

You may type this line on your own when writing your commit messages.
However, if your user.name and user.email are set in your git configs,
you can use -s or --signoff to add the Signed-off-by line to the
end of the commit message.
All submissions should come in the form of pull requests and need to be reviewed by project committers. Read GitHub's pull request documentation for more information on sending pull requests.
