## Pull Request Process
## Ways of contributing
### Do you have questions about the project?
1. Ensure you signed all your commits with Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO).
* Feel free to post your question on our [community forum](community-forum) or join our [matrix community chat][matrix-support].
2. Ensure any install or build dependencies are removed before the end of the layer when doing a
build.
### Did you find a bug?
3. Update the README.md with details of changes to the interface, this includes new environment
variables, exposed ports, useful file locations and container parameters.
* **Ensure the bug wasn't already reported** by searching on GitHub under [Issues](issues).
4. Increase the version numbers in any examples files and the README.md to the new version that this
Pull Request would represent. The versioning scheme we use is [SemVer](http://semver.org/).
* If you're unable to find an open issue addressing the problem, [open a new one](new_issue). Be sure to use one of the templates we provide if your request applies to them.
5. You may merge the Pull Request in once you have the sign-off of two other developers, or if you
do not have permission to do that, you may request the second reviewer to merge it for you.
### Did you write a patch that fixes a bug?
## Sign your work
* Open a new GitHub pull request with the patch. See the section [submitting a pull request](#submitting-a-pull-request) for details on this.
* Ensure the PR description is precise about the problem and your solution. Just fill out our template. That should cover the most important information.
### Do you intend to add a new feature or change an existing one?
* Suggest your idea via a new GitHub issue. After a confirmation about your idea, you can start writing code. Our maintainers and other project developers can provide useful details about the architecture and show you relevant issues and discussions.
### Do you want to work on translations?
* If you want to improve a translation or add a new translation altogether, we handle those via [POEditor](poeditor).
HedgeDoc is a volunteer effort. We encourage you to pitch in and to help us making this project even better.
## Certificate of Origin
By contributing to this project you agree to the [Developer Certificate of
Origin (DCO)](docs/legal/developer-certificate-of-origin.txt). This document was created by the Linux Kernel community and is a
simple statement that you, as a contributor, have the legal right to make the
contribution.
The DCO is a legally binding statement, please [read it carefully](docs/legal/developer-certificate-of-origin.txt).
We use the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) as a additional safeguard
for the HedgeDoc project. This is a well established and widely used
mechanism to assure contributors have confirmed their right to license
their contribution under the project's license.
Please read [docs/legal/developer-certificate-of-origin.txt][dcofile].
If you can certify it, then just add a line to every git commit message:
```git
```
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
```
Use your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions).
If you set your `user.name` and `user.email` git configs, you can sign your
commit automatically with `git commit -s`. You can also use git [aliases](https://git-scm.com/book/tr/v2/Git-Basics-Git-Aliases)
like `git config --global alias.ci 'commit -s'`. Now you can commit with
`git ci` and the commit will be signed.
