Patch submission

The development of MCUboot takes place in the MCUboot GitHub repository.

To submit patches, use GitHub pull requests.

Each commit has to have, in the commit message, a “Signed-off-by” line that mentions the author (and the committer, if that is different). You must add this line at the end of the commit text, separated by a blank line. You can also add a line linking the commit to a specific GitHub issue, as this section supports multiple lines, similarly to RFC-2822.

The supported trailer lines are structured as follows:

  • A line that indicates that the signer agrees to the “Developer Certificate of Origin” located at the bottom of this page:

        Signed-off-by: Developer Name <devname@example.com>
    
  • A line that links this commit to specific GitHub issues, if present:

    Keyword #GH_issue_number
    

    For more details about linking a GitHub pull request to a GitHub issue, see this [link] (https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue).
