Sign your Git commits

After you add your public key to your account, you can sign individual commits manually, or configure Git to default to signed commits.

Sign individual Git commits manually:

  1. Add -S flag to any commit you want to sign:

    git commit -S -m "My commit message"

  2. Enter the passphrase of your GPG key when asked.

  3. Push to an online git repository (GitHub, GitLab, ...) and check that your commits are verified.

Sign all Git commits by default by running this command:

git config --global commit.gpgsign true
