Step 15: Perform a Commit git commit -S -s -m "My Signed Commit" This tells Git to sign all commits using the key you specified in step 13. Step 14: Configure Git to sign all commits (Optional-you can configure this per repository too) The below command needs the fingerprint from step 10 above: git config -global user.signingkey 1111111 Step 13: Configure Git to use your signing key Step 12: Configure Git to use gpg git config -global gpg.program $(which gpg) The output from below is what you copy to Github: # The export command below gives you the key you add to GitHub In the output from step 10, the line below the row that says 'pub' shows a fingerprint-this is what you use in the placeholder. *You need to copy the output from your terminal similar to the example above where the # is following the slash. Use the next command to generate a short form of the key fingerprint.Ĭopy the text after the rsa4096/ and before the date generated and use the copied id in step 13: gpg -K -keyid-format SHORT You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.
#Mac uninstall gpg mail software#
You need a user ID to identify your key the software constructs the user IDįrom the Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:Ĭhange (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? o Please specify how long the key should be valid.
Once you have entered your options, pinentry will prompt you for a password for the new PGP key. Run the following command to generate your key, note we have to use the -expert flag so as to generate a 4096-bit key. You will need to modify the permissions to 700 to secure this directory.
#Mac uninstall gpg mail update#
Step 6: Update the Permissions on your ~/.gnupg Directory # if using bash through homebrew over ssh use Step 5: Restart your Terminal or source your ~/.*rc file # on the built-in bash on macos use # This tells gpg to use the gpg-agentĪppend the following to your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc. Step 3: Update or Create ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf # echo 'pinentry-program $(brew -prefix)/bin/pinentry-mac' > ~/.gnupg/nf # The below configuration used to be added within that directory but is no longer required and breaks on M1-based Macs If this directory does not exist, create it. We use the Homebrew package manager for this step.
