Signing github commits with your SSH key

ssh-git-signing.md

GPG gives a lot of shit on macos for some reason.

It's best to just add the same SSH authentication key you have on github as a "Signing Key"

$ git config [--global] gpg.format ssh
$ git config [--global] user.signingkey ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
$ git config [--global] commit.gpgsign true

you can also do this manually on the .git/config of your project

[user]
        name = gubatron
        email = [email protected]
        signingkey = /Users/gubatron/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
[github]
        user = gubatron
[gpg]
        format = ssh
[commit]
        gpgsign = true
