Signing the CLA

In order to contribute code, you will need to sign the Contributor License Agreement. When opening a pull request to Paketo for the first time, the EasyCLA bot will add a comment to the PR indicating that the commit is NOT COVERED by a signed CLA.

The authorization process will be slightly different depending on the type of contributor you are to the Paketo project:

Individual Contributor

If you are contributing code on your own behalf, instead of your employer or organization, please follow these steps

Corporate Contributor

If you are contributing code on behalf of your employer or other organization, please follow these steps

Common questions about EasyCLA

• Q: Which organization should I search for in the Select Organization field?
A: This is going to be the name of your employer
• Q: What if my employer is not on the list?
A: You can add it yourself following these steps
• Q: I just sent the signing request but my PR is still blocked
A: There are several things to confirm:
1. Has your employer already signed a CLA? If so, the CLA Manager in your organization will receive your signing request and will respond accordingly
2. If your employer has never signed the CLA (No Signed CLA found), please follow these steps depending on whether you or someone else in your org will become the CLA Manager
3. After you have been approved by your organization, you need to acknowledge your affiliation
