We're happy to accept contributions from the community. To do so, simply submit a pull request to this repository.
We require a code sign-off for all contributions to indicate you have the right to release any code as open-source. As explained by the Docker project:
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch. Your signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch.
The agreement we use is the Developer Certificate of Origin (copied below), as used by the Linux kernel, Docker, and many other open source projects:
