+## Contributing
 
+This project welcomes contributions and suggestions. Most contributions require you to agree to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
+declaring that you have the right to, and actually do, grant us the rights to use your contribution. For details, visit https://cla.microsoft.com.
+
+When you submit a pull request, a CLA-bot will automatically determine whether you need to provide a CLA and decorate the PR
+appropriately (e.g., label, comment). Simply follow the instructions provided by the bot. You will only need to do this once across all repos using our CLA.
+
+We also require that contributors sign their commits using git commit -s or git commit --signoff to certify they either authored the work themselves
+or otherwise have permission to use it in this project. Please see https://developercertificate.org/ for more info, as well as to make sure that you can
+attest to the rules listed. Our CI uses the DCO Github app to ensure that all commits in a given PR are signed-off.
