1Configuring Git

4This chapter describes maintainer level git configuration.

6Tagged branches used in pull requests (see
7Documentation/maintainer/pull-requests.rst) should be signed with the
8developers public GPG key. Signed tags can be created by passing
9``-u <key-id>`` to ``git tag``. However, since you would *usually* use the same
10key for the project, you can set it in the configuration and use the ``-s``
11flag. To set the default ``key-id`` use::
12
13 git config user.signingkey "keyname"
14
15Alternatively, edit your ``.git/config`` or ``~/.gitconfig`` file by hand::
16
17 [user]
18 name = Jane Developer
19 email = jd@domain.org
20 signingkey = jd@domain.org
21
22You may need to tell ``git`` to use ``gpg2``::
23
24 [gpg]
25 program = /path/to/gpg2
26
27You may also like to tell ``gpg`` which ``tty`` to use (add to your shell
28rc file)::
29
30 export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
