FINOS Software Project Blueprint

Project blueprint is a GitHub repository template for all Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS) hosted GitHub repositories, contributed and maintained by FINOS as part of the Open Developer Platform (ODP) initiative.

Using DCO to sign your commits

All commits must be signed with a DCO signature to avoid being flagged by the DCO Bot. This means that your commit log message must contain a line that looks like the following one, with your actual name and email address:

Signed-off-by: John Doe <[email protected]>

Adding the -s flag to your git commit will add that line automatically. You can also add it manually as part of your commit log message or add it afterwards with git commit --amend -s.
