Overview

Steps

• Add your SSH public key into your github account, right in [Github -> Settings -> Keys].

• in terminal type the following:

git config --global gpg.format ssh

• and then:

git config --global user.signingKey /path/to/ssh/key

Replace the /path/to/ssh/key to the full path of your SSH key such as /home/$USER/.ssh/id_rsa.pem

• and then:

git config --global commit.gpgSign true

This command will sign at the commit level.

Without this step, you will need to use -S flag with git commit, as follows git commit -S -m "msg"

Happy Commiting
