| 21 | To be able to push your commits you have to update the commit |
| 22 | messages as explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html[here] so that they contain a Signed-off-by from |
| 23 | the author, committer or uploader in the last paragraph. However it |
| 24 | is important that you only add a Signed-off-by if you understand the |
| 25 | semantics of the link:user-signedoffby.html#Signed-off-by[Signed-off-by] and the commit applies to the rules |
| 26 | that are connected with this footer. |
