- .. _configuregit:
- 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)
