     - git checkout main
     - git fetch --all
+    - git pull
   - Create and check out a new sign-off branch with the current branch name and append 'signoff':
-    - git checkout -b lp123456_branch_name_signoff
+    - git checkout -b lp123456_branch_name_signoff (will default to base branch off main)
-  - Commit your signoff:
+    - git checkout -b lp123456_branch_name_signoff origin/version (ex: origin/rel_3_11) to base the branch on a specific version
-    - A commit message should consist of a subject line (i.e., the first line of the commit message), then a blank line, then an optional description of the patch, followed by one or more signoffs.  The subject line should be brief, ideally no more than 60-70 characters, and should include a bug number from LaunchPad if relevant.  Here is an example of a minimum commit message:<code>
-    LP#24544: fix the quuxifier
-    Signed-off-by: Jane Hacker <jhacker@example.org></code>
   - Pull in the branch that you wish to sign off on using the commit code you found above.
