Using GPG key for Git commits on Linux
Introduction “Hey, Stefan, can you please push your changes to the Git repository?” - asked my colleague.
“and make sure you sign your commits with GPG!” - he added.
“Sure, I will do that!” - I replied. But wait a minute, what is GPG signing? And why should I use it?
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) was initially developed by Phil Zimmermann in 1991 as a commercial product and was designed as a way to encrypt and decrypt email messages.
