| Configure Git |
| ============= |
| |
| This chapter describes maintainer level git configuration. |
| |
| Tagged branches used in :ref:`Documentation/maintainer/pull-requests.rst |
| <pullrequests>` should be signed with the developers public GPG key. Signed |
| tags can be created by passing the ``-u`` flag to ``git tag``. However, |
| since you would *usually* use the same key for the same project, you can |
| set it once with |
| :: |
| |
| 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) |
