3 Configure Git
4 =============
5
6 This chapter describes maintainer level git configuration.
7
8 Tagged branches used in :ref:`Documentation/maintainer/pull-requests.rst
9 <pullrequests>` should be signed with the developers public GPG key. Signed
10 tags can be created by passing the ``-u`` flag to ``git tag``. However,
11 since you would *usually* use the same key for the same project, you can
12 set it once with
13 ::
14
15         git config user.signingkey "keyname"
16
17 Alternatively, edit your ``.git/config`` or ``~/.gitconfig`` file by hand:
18 ::
19
20         [user]
21                 name = Jane Developer
22                 email = jd@domain.org
23                 signingkey = jd@domain.org
24
25 You may need to tell ``git`` to use ``gpg2``
26 ::
27
28         [gpg]
29                 program = /path/to/gpg2
30
31 You may also like to tell ``gpg`` which ``tty`` to use (add to your shell rc file)
32 ::
33
34         export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
