In order to be able to contribute to Eclipse Foundation projects you must electronically sign the Eclipse Contributor Agreement (ECA).
The ECA provides the Eclipse Foundation with a permanent record that you agree that each of your contributions will comply with the commitments documented in the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). Having an ECA on file associated with the email address matching the "Author" field of your contribution's Git commits fulfills the DCO's requirement that you sign-off on your contributions.
For more information, please see the Eclipse Committer Handbook.
You must digitally sign the Eclipse Contributor Agreement (ECA). You can do this as follows:
- If you haven't done so already, register an Eclipse account. Important: Use the same email address that you will use on Git commits as the author address.
- Open the ECA form and complete it. See the ECA FAQ for more info.
If you are an elected committer of the EMF.cloud project please create a branch in the respective repository. Otherwise please fork and create a branch in your fork for the pull request.
The branch name should be in the form issues/{issue_number}, e.g. issues/115. So please create an issue before creating a pull request.
All branches with this naming schema will be deleted after they are merged.
In the commit message you should also reference the corresponding issue, e.g. using closes #115 / closes https://github.com/eclipse-emfcloud/emfcloud-modelserver/issues/115, thus allowing auto close of issues.
Please make sure you read the guide for a good commit message.
