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)
|
