Description

Require a DCO sign-off on commits, matching Nextcloud convention across the org.

Contributors sign off with:

git commit -s -m "your message"

The README already documents this; nothing enforces it.

Scope

Add the DCO check the rest of the org uses, so unsigned commits fail the PR rather than being caught by a human.

Part of #38.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing CI configuration and the README's DCO sign-off instructions, then compare the DCO check used elsewhere in the Nextcloud organization. Add enforcement so a pull request with an unsigned commit fails, and verify the check distinguishes signed from unsigned commits.
