Configuring Git
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
This chapter describes maintainer level git configuration.
|
|
|
|
Tagged branches used in pull requests (see
|
|
Documentation/maintainer/pull-requests.rst) should be signed with the
|
|
developers public GPG key. Signed tags can be created by passing
|
|
``-u <key-id>`` to ``git tag``. However, since you would *usually* use the same
|
|
key for the project, you can set it in the configuration and use the ``-s``
|
|
flag. To set the default ``key-id`` use::
|
|
|
|
git config user.signingkey "keyname"
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, edit your ``.git/config`` or ``~/.gitconfig`` file by hand::
|
|
|
|
[user]
|
|
name = Jane Developer
|
|
email = jd@domain.org
|
|
signingkey = jd@domain.org
|
|
|
|
You may need to tell ``git`` to use ``gpg2``::
|
|
|
|
[gpg]
|
|
program = /path/to/gpg2
|
|
|
|
You may also like to tell ``gpg`` which ``tty`` to use (add to your shell
|
|
rc file)::
|
|
|
|
export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
