# Pull requests:

Changes to this project should be proposed as pull requests on Github
at: https://github.com/lxc/lxcfs

Proposed changes will then go through code review there and once acked,
be merged in the main branch.



# Developer Certificate of Origin:

To improve tracking of contributions to this project we use the DCO 1.1
and use a "sign-off" procedure for all changes going into the branch.

The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
commit which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right
to pass it on as an open-source contribution.

An example of a valid sign-off line is:

    Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.org>

Use your real name and a valid e-mail address.
Sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions are allowed.

We also require each commit be individually signed-off by their author,
even when part of a larger set.

AI Generated Code:
------------------

Substantially AI generated code is not welcome.  There are several
reasons for this.  First, it violates the "The contribution was created
in whole or in part by me" statement of DCO.  Second, the licensing
implications are not yet clear.  Thirdly, we expect anyone who submits
code to fully understand what they are submitting.  Finally, we put
a lot of time into reviewing patch submissions.  Increasing the
volume of code to be reviewed with autogenerated boilerplate drivel
will take away time from more important reviews.
