 ## Contribution flow
 
 This is a rough outline of what a contributor's workflow looks like:
 
 - Create an issue
 - Fork the project
-- Create a branch from where to base the contribution -- this is almost always `main`
-- Push changes into a branch of your fork
+- Create a [feature branch]
+- Push changes to your branch
 - Submit a pull request
 - Respond to feedback from project maintainers
+- Rebase to squash related and fixup commits
+- Get LGTM from reviewer(s)
+- Merge with a merge commit
 
 Creating new issues is one of the best ways to contribute.
 You have no obligation to offer a solution or code to fix an issue that you open.
 If you do decide to try and contribute something, please submit an issue first so that a discussion can occur to avoid any wasted efforts.

-In order to protect both you and ourselves, all commits will require an explicit sign-off that acknowledges the [DCO].
-
-Sign-off commits end with the following line:
+## Legal requirements
 
-```git
-Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
-```
+In order to protect the project, all contributors are required to sign our [Contributor License Agreement][cla] before their contribution is accepted.
 
-This can be done by using the `--signoff` (or `-s` for short) git flag to append this automatically to your commit message.
-If you have already authored a commit that is missing the signed-off, you can amend or rebase your commits and force push them to GitHub.
+The signing process has been automated by [CLA Assistant][cla-assistant] during the Pull Request review process and only requires responding with a comment acknowledging the agreement.
