# Code Contributions
|
|
To make a contribution to a TianoCore project, follow these steps.
|
|
1. Create a change description in the format specified below to
|
|
use in the source control commit log.
|
|
2. Your commit message must include your `Signed-off-by` signature
|
|
3. Submit your code to the TianoCore project using the process
|
|
that the project documents on its web page. If the process is
|
|
not documented, then submit the code on development email list
|
|
for the project.
|
|
4. It is preferred that contributions are submitted using the same
|
|
copyright license as the base project. When that is not possible,
|
|
then contributions using the following licenses can be accepted:
|
|
* BSD (2-clause): http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause

Contributions of code put into the public domain can also be

|
accepted.

|
Contributions using other licenses might be accepted, but further
|
|
review will be required.

# Developer Certificate of Origin
|
|
|
|
Your change description should use the standard format for a
|
|
commit message, and must include your `Signed-off-by` signature.
|
|
|
|
In order to keep track of who did what, all patches contributed must
|
|
include a statement that to the best of the contributor's knowledge
|
|
they have the right to contribute it under the specified license.
|
|
|
|
The test for this is as specified in the [Developer's Certificate of
|
|
Origin (DCO) 1.1](https://developercertificate.org/). The contributor
|
|
certifies compliance by adding a line saying
|
|
|
|
Signed-off-by: Developer Name <developer@example.org>
|
|
|
|
where `Developer Name` is the contributor's real name, and the email
|
|
address is one the developer is reachable through at the time of
|
|
contributing.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
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.

|
|
|
* `Repository` is the identifier of the repository the patch applies.
|
|
This identifier should only be provided for repositories other than
|
|

|
|
* `Branch` is the identifier of the branch the patch applies. This
|
|
identifier should only be provided for branches other than `edk2/master`.
|

For example `edk2/UDK2015`, `edk2-BuildSpecification/release/1.27`, or
|
|
`staging/edk2-test`.
|
|
* `Module` is a short identifier for the affected code or documentation. For
|
|
example `MdePkg`, `MdeModulePkg/UsbBusDxe`, `Introduction`, or
|
|
`EDK II INF File Format`.
|
|
* `Brief-single-line-summary` is a short summary of the change.
|
|
* The entire first line should be less than ~70 characters.
