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)
