This is a built-in feature of git and you can automate this by using the -s flag.
We ask all contributors to follow a couple of conventions and best pratices when contributing code:
- Code is formatted according to the Python PEP-8 coding standard.
- Contributors create a test case that tests their code.
- Contributors document their code.
Contributors open issue and create implementation on a separate branch or fork. Any open questions / calls for help are addressed via a meeting taking place every second week or the comment function in the issue. Once the contributor is happy with their code they sign-off the last commit and open a pull request.
