| `--signoff`:: |
| `--no-signoff`:: |
| Add a `Signed-off-by` trailer by the committer at the end of the commit |
| log message. The meaning of a signoff depends on the project |
| to which you're committing. For example, it may certify that |
| the committer has the rights to submit the work under the |
| project's license or agrees to some contributor representation, |
| such as a Developer Certificate of Origin. |
| (See https://developercertificate.org for the one used by the |
| Linux kernel and Git projects.) Consult the documentation or |
| leadership of the project to which you're contributing to |
| understand how the signoffs are used in that project. |
| + |
| The `--no-signoff` option can be used to countermand an earlier `--signoff` |
| option on the command line. |
