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)
