Problem

Occasionally, contributors may unintentionally skip signing their commits, which can lead to significant challenges down the road, especially when managing complex pull requests with contributions from multiple people. If several commits are missing the required sign-off, it can create unnecessary complications during the merge process, ultimately increasing the time and effort needed to resolve the issue.

Solution

A potential solution to this problem is to leverage the Husky npm package. Husky can be configured to enforce signing off on commits and ensure that necessary pre-commit tasks, such as running linters or other validation scripts, are executed before the commit is finalized. This tool helps maintain code quality by automatically running tasks like linting or throwing an error if you try to commit without signing it.
