brew install gnupg

gpg --gen-key

Configure Git to use the created Key

gpg --list-key
/Users/xyz/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
-------------------------------
pub   rsa2048 2020-05-28 [SC] [expires: 2022-05-28]
      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXF44D6E037E8
uid           [ultimate] fname lname <[email protected]>
sub   rsa2048 2020-05-28 [E] [expires: 2022-05-28]

Copy the key id (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXF44D6E037E8) to use it in the next step.

git config --global commit.gpgsign true
git config --local user.signingKey XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXF44D6E037E8

Troubleshooting

In case you experienced issues when sigining a commit/tag:

brew install pinentry-mac
echo "pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac" >> ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
killall gpg-agent
