+Submitting patches: the sparse version
+======================================
+
+Sparse uses a patch submit process similar to the Linux Kernel
+[Submitting Patches](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.12/process/submitting-patches.html)
+
+This document mostly focuses on the parts that might be different from the Linux
+Kernel submitting process.
+
+1. Git clone a sparse repository:
+
+ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git
+
+2. [Coding Style](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.12/process/coding-style.html) remains the same.
+
+3. Sign off the patch.
+
+ The usage of the Signed-off-by tag is the same as [Linux Kernel Sign your work](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.12/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin).
