Methods of Signing Git Commits on MacOS

Last updated March 13, 2024

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.

GPG and git on macOS

Setup

No need for homebrew or anything like that. Works with https://www.git-tower.com and the command line.

Install https://gpgtools.org -- I'd suggest to do a customized install and deselect GPGMail.
Create or import a key -- see below for https://keybase.io
Run gpg --list-secret-keys and look for sec, use the key ID for the next step
Configure git to use GPG -- replace the key with the one from gpg --list-secret-keys

Simple Security Guidelines

Using an iDevice? (Best option)

Use an iPod or an iPad without a SIM card
Use an iPhone
Do not jailbreak
Always upgrade to new iOS versions
Use Brave browser

	import sys
	import logging
	import logging.config
	import random
	import string


	# "thank you" to folks on StackOverflow.com for various ideas,
	# for this example. Works with Python3.
