+### Creating Pull requests
+
+#### DCO Signoff
+
+Nextcloud enforces the [Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)](https://developercertificate.org/) on Pull Requests. It requires your commit messages to contain a Signed-off-by line with an email address that matches your GitHub account.
+
+##### How to Signoff
+
+The DCO is a way for contributors to certify that they wrote or otherwise have the right to submit the code they are contributing by adding a Signed-off-by line to commit messages.
+
+```
+My Commit message
+
+Signed-off-by: Random Contributor <random@contributor.dev>
+```
+
+Git even has a `-s | --signoff` command line option to append this to your commit messages automatically.
