- Read about our [Commitment to Open Source](https://vercel.com/oss).
- Before jumping into a PR be sure to search [existing PRs](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/pulls) or [issues](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues) for an open or closed item that relates to your submission.

## Signed commits

This repository requires verified commit signatures on protected branches.

Before contributing, configure Git to sign your commits with a GitHub-verified GPG, SSH, or S/MIME key. Unsigned commits will be rejected by the repository rules and will need to be rewritten as signed commits before they can be merged.

If a pull request includes unsigned commits, re-sign the commits and force-push the branch. Make sure the signing key is added to your GitHub account and that your commits appear as `Verified`.

A `Signed-off-by` line in the commit message is not enough to satisfy this requirement.
