Description

Enforce the DCO sign-off locally so contributors catch a missing Signed-off-by line before CI, alongside the existing black/isort/ruff formatting hooks.

The black and isort hooks already run via pre-commit (#9061), but the DCO check still only lives in the GitHub DCO app, so a missing sign-off is only discovered after pushing. This change:

  • Adds .github/hooks/check-dco.sh, a commit-msg hook that fails when the Signed-off-by line is missing.
  • Sets default_install_hook_types: [pre-commit, commit-msg] in .pre-commit-config.yaml so a plain pre-commit install wires up both stages, and registers the new local DCO hook.
  • Adds a --setup option to runtests.sh that runs pre-commit install.
  • Updates CONTRIBUTING.md to document installing the hooks and the DCO check.

The black/isort -> ruff format consolidation remains tracked separately in #9066.

Verification

  • pre-commit validate-config passes
  • bash -n runtests.sh passes
  • DCO hook verified: fails without a Signed-off-by line, passes with one
  • commit created with the hook active (DCO sign-off check passed)

Types of changes

  • Non-breaking change (fix or new feature that would not break existing functionality).
  • Breaking change (fix or new feature that would cause existing functionality to change).
  • New tests added to cover the changes.
  • Integration tests passed locally by running ./runtests.sh -f -u --net --coverage.
  • Quick tests passed locally by running ./runtests.sh --quick --unittests --disttests.
  • In-line docstrings updated.
  • Documentation updated, tested make html command in the docs/ folder.

Enforce the DCO sign-off locally so contributors catch a missing Signed-off-by before CI, alongside the existing black/isort/ruff formatting hooks.

- .pre-commit-config.yaml: install the commit-msg hook by default (default_install_hook_types) and add a local DCO check hook.
- .github/hooks/check-dco.sh: commit-msg hook that fails when the Signed-off-by line is missing.
- runtests.sh: new --setup option that runs 'pre-commit install'.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: document installing the hooks and the DCO check.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a DCO commit-message hook, registers it with pre-commit, adds runtests.sh --setup for hook installation, and documents the setup and sign-off requirements in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fa00f

This change adds local DCO enforcement and hook setup, but dry-run setup can incorrectly report installed hooks and CRLF commit messages with valid sign-offs can be rejected. Address these contributor workflow issues before relying on the new enforcement.

Accept CRLF commit-message files.

When the message file uses CRLF, line 18 does not match the trailing \r, so the commit-msg hook rejects a valid sign-off. Allow an optional \r before $ and add a CRLF test.

Do not report hooks as installed in dry-run mode.

With --dryrun --setup, the install commands are replaced by dry-run commands, but this message still says that hooks were installed. Print a dry-run-specific message or guard this success message.

Proposed fix
-    echo "${green}done! git hooks installed (black, isort, ruff, DCO sign-off).${noColor}"
+    if [[ -z "$cmdPrefix" ]]; then
+        echo "${green}done! git hooks installed (black, isort, ruff, DCO sign-off).${noColor}"
+    else
+        echo "dry-run: git hooks would be installed (black, isort, ruff, DCO sign-off)."
+    fi

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

I think this content should go below with the section discussing DCO and signoff, users won't know what DCO is at this point in the document.

We should also mention somewhere about setting your git global variables to use in the signoff. With git config --global --edit users should set name and email like this:

[global]
[user]
        name = Eric Kerfoot
        email = 17726042+ericspod@users.noreply.github.com

The no-reply email address Github assigns to each user can be seen at https://github.com/settings/emails. As I use here, it's more private to use this address rather than an actual email, and it's associated directly with your Github username.

We should also mention that VSCode can be set to automatically sign off on every commit.
