CLA assistant is a web service and self-hostable application that automates Contributor License Agreement handling for GitHub repositories. It comments on pull requests, lets contributors sign CLAs with GitHub authentication, and updates PR status checks once signed.
Use cases
- require contributors to sign a CLA before merging pull requests
- automatically comment on PRs asking for CLA signature
- track who signed which version of a CLA
- re-prompt contributors to re-sign when the CLA text changes
- collect custom fields from contributors before signing
- self-host CLA management for an organization
When to choose
- you host open-source projects on GitHub and need legally binding CLA enforcement
- you want a free hosted option (cla-assistant.io) or self-hosted deployment
- you need per-version CLA signature tracking and automatic re-signing
When to avoid
- you only need a lightweight check without a full web app (use the CLA Assistant GitHub Action instead)
- your projects are not on GitHub
- you prefer DCO-style sign-off rather than a formal CLA
