Error with signed commits

14 Nov 2020 in Computerstuff on TIL: Git commands, Reminders 2022-04-17

For some reason my git commits failed when I re-enabled gpg signing. This is how I finally fixed that problem.

Add to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

use-agent 
pinentry-mode loopback

And add to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

allow-loopback-pinentry

Restart the agent

echo RELOADAGENT | gpg-connect-agent

About

Dominic, mid-30s, living in Längenfeld, an average village in the mountainous Tirol. He works as a construction builder at a local company but has learned electrician before, just after he left an establishment of higher education (we call it HTL in Austria).

In October 2019 he passed the ham radio exam in Innsbruck and got the callsign OE7DRT.

He collects information about different technical issues on this website. Some of these articles may help others and some may not. Please, don’t send guest articles or support requests as he does not have the time to help everyone with their personal problems. Sources of information are usually included at the end of those articles.

Besides all that, he feels weird about writing about himself as 3^rd person.
