Git -> GitHub -> GPG Key (Windows)
- This guide will walk you through the entire process of setting up GPG for signing your GitHub commits on Windows.
- To get started with GPG, you’ll need to install GPG4Win, which is the suite that includes everything you need to generate your keys.
- Once you've installed Git Bash, open it up. Now, you're ready to go!
- Run the following command in Git Bash to create your GPG key.
- Next, export the public key to add it to GitHub.
- Then, configure Git to automatically sign your commits by default.
- If you’re getting the GPG key to work locally but don’t see the 'Verified' label on GitHub, there’s a chance the problem lies in how you're using the terminal.
- This error usually means Git can’t find your GPG private key for signing commits.
- Setting up GPG on Windows for GitHub commit signing can be a bit tricky, but once you’ve got everything in place, it’s totally worth it to see that “Verified” label next to your commits.
- If you're running into GPG errors or issues with secret keys, double-check your paths and keys, and you should be good to go!
