Add `Signoff` check box when commiting

40 votes

In a lot of more formal open source projects, it is required that every commit submitted be signed offed in the commit message with your name and email. This is done at the command line with the flag `--signoff` (or just `-s`) with the command `commit`. Currently there is not a way to do this within GitKraken. It would be convenient if there was a checkbox right next to the amend checkbox when committing

FWIW, a current workaround is just to put the signoff trailer in the commit description yourself; that's all that the `--signoff` option does. Just put a new line after your commit description and then, e.g.: `Signed-off-by: Alice <alice@example.com>`

Github bot for DCO https://github.com/dcoapp/app check will fail if the Signed-off-by trailer is missing

I'd love this feature, since it is a required part of the DCO and many of the open source projects I work with, as Eric mentioned last year. I forget to copy in the Signed-off-by line on my commits all the time and it's a total hassle.
