Contributor License Agreement (CLA) assistant

Streamline your workflow and let CLA assistant handle the legal side of contributions to a repository for you. CLA assistant enables contributors to sign CLAs from within a pull request.

To get started, simply store your CLA as a GitHub Gist file then link it with the repository/organisation in CLA assistant. Then sit back and relax while CLA assistant:

  • Comments on each opened pull request to ask the contributor to sign the CLA
  • Allows contributors to sign a CLA from within a pull request
  • Authenticates the signee with their GitHub account
  • Updates the status of a pull request when the contributor agrees to the CLA
  • Automatically asks users to re-sign the CLA for each new pull request in the event the associated Gist & CLA has changed
  • Green lights merge queues without additional CLA checks as everyone needs to have signed of on the PR level already

Repository owners can review a list of users who signed the CLA for each version of it. To get started, visit cla-assistant.io.
