Based on this blogpost.
To sign Git commits, you need a gpg key. GPG stands for GNU Privacy Guard and is the de facto implementation of the OpenPGP message format. PGP stands for ‘Pretty Good Privacy’ and is a standard to sign and encrypt messages.
Install with Homebrew:
$ brew install gpg
| #!/bin/bash | |
| ############################################### | |
| # To use: | |
| # chmod +x install-redis.sh | |
| # ./install-redis.sh | |
| ############################################### | |
| version=5.0.0 |

This Gist explains how to sign commits using gpg in a step-by-step fashion. Previously, krypt.co was heavily mentioned, but I've only recently learned they were acquired by Akamai and no longer update their previous free products. Those mentions have been removed.
Additionally, 1Password now supports signing Git commits with SSH keys and makes it pretty easy-plus you can easily configure Git Tower to use it for both signing and ssh.
For using a GUI-based GIT tool such as Tower or Github Desktop, follow the steps here for signing your commits with GPG.

I chose to use the manual method, you have to make a file available to verify you own the domain. Follow the commands from running
git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
cd letsencrypt
