GPG Singing and SSH Signing

In order to sign commit with git, you have 2 options, using GPG key or SSH key. GPG key requires you have GnuPG setup while SSH Key requires you have OpenSSH setup. Usually, setting up OpenSSH is more convenient.

🔑 SSH Key signing

Ensure you have OpenSSH installed. Then configure your repo as following.

git config commit.gpgsign true
git config gpg.format ssh
# you must set signingkey for ssh signing to work.
git config user.signingkey ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub 

Install openssh guide

• Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S openssh
• Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install openssh-client
• Fedora: sudo dnf install openssh-clients
• Mac: brew install openssh

🔑 GPG Key signing

Ensure you have GPGme installed. And install a GUI pinentry program, so that it doesn't clear terminal buffer of Neovim GUI. Then configure your repo as folowing

git config commit.gpgsign true
# reset gpg format
git config --unset gpg.format
# Optionally set your gpg key
git config user.signingkey "KeyID"

Install GPGMe guide

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S gpgme

MacOS

brew install gpgme pinentry-mac
# Set Pinentry
echo "pinentry-program $(which pinentry-mac)" >> ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt-get install libgpgme11
# Use gnome3 for pinentry
sudo apt-get install pinentry-gnome3
echo "pinentry-program $(which pinentry-gnome3)" >> ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
# Usse Qt for pinentry
sudo apt-get install pinentry-qt
echo "pinentry-program $(which pinentry-qt)" >> ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

Windows

Download and install GPG4Win

Configure GPGme path

If you install GPGme to a directory that isn't included in system path, you have to configure it manually for Fugit2 to load it. Configure it as following

-- Fugit2 setup table
{
  gpgme_path = "<path/to/library/dir>"
}
