Hopefully I'll have a more interesting post next week, this week has just been insane for me.
Gnupg mac for dummies password#
You should be prompted to type in your password and check the box to store it in your keychain. That's it! After sourcing your bashrc or zshrc ( source ~/.zshrc) or restarting your terminal, run a git commit. Paste these lines: if test -f ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info -a -n "$(pgrep gpg-agent)" thenĮval $(gpg-agent -daemon -write-env-file ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info) This may only happen for ElGamal signatures which are not widely used.
This options enables a workaround by checking faulty signatures again with the encoding used in old versions. Vi ~/.profile # or other file that is sourced every time GnuPG versions prior to 1.0.2 had a bug in the way a signature was encode. Pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac You just have to setup pinentry so that you wont have to type your password on every commit. After running the above commands, git will sign commits with your key. Git config -global user.signingkey KEY_ID If you're confused about finding your key id, check step 11.Ĭopy the output from above and add it to GitHub
With that being said, get started by having homebrew installed, and we'll go from there. I've followed a couple different guides across multiple computers to end up with a combination of them in this guide. Even if you follow the simple steps to generate one and let git know about it, you're going to be stuck typing a password on every commit if you don't setup an agent to handle adding it to your keychain for you.
Setting up gpg keys can be a little annoying. The second reason is because you're reading this article! If you're not famous and aren't verified on Twitter, this feels almost as cool. I know you want to have a verified badge like this next to your commits on github.
