Agreements

Overview

Manage Contributor License Agreement templates, repository assignment, and signing workflows.

Agreements (/app/governance/templates) is where you define and maintain Contributor License Agreement (CLA) text. The Open CLA GitHub App enforces coverage on pull requests for repositories you configure.

How agreements fit together

Piece Where Role
Templates Agreements list Legal text and version history
Repository assignment Repository detail Which template version applies to each repo
Contributors Contributors Who has signed and corporate coverage
Checks GitHub pull requests Contributor License Agreement check pass/fail

Signing modes

  • In-app Markdown — default hosted signing experience after GitHub auth
  • Dropbox Sign — hosted e-signature when connected on Integrations
