How to complete CLA on GitHub

I have submitted a pull request on GitHub and the organization asked me to sign the CLA before they can merge the pull request, who currently has the red label 'cla-required'. How can I do this? There is a lot of information about the contributor licence agreement on the web but no one is concerned about how to complete CLA. I found the link of the CLA on GitHub but there is no explanations about how to agree them: https://cla.github.com/agreement The developer who asked me to complete CLA to can merge my pull request gave me the link of this tool: https://pandoc.org

Did you ask the maintainers of the project you want to contribute to what exactly they expect from you?

I understood what CLA is and why the organization asked me to agree this agreement but I don't find how to technically complete CLA . Today my pull request has a label 'cla-required' and I don't know how sign CLA

Did you ask the maintainers of the project you want to contribute to what exactly they expect from you? Different organizations have different standards. It can range from writing "yeah I am OK with that" on IRC to sending in a hand-signed CLA by snail mail.

No I didn't ask, I thought there was a standard way to accept CLA. I found a procedure (github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Contributor-License-Agreement) but system tells nothing. I'll ask what I have to do exactly. thank's

I'm somewhat saddened by the fact that this question received two down votes. I feel like we should be encouraging these sorts of open source questions around these parts. We can't expect everyone to be a lawyer or an expert at open source either.
