AFAIK it's a good idea. I'm curious what is annoying about it? It's just adding the 'sign' tag. If you want a portable GPG key check out something like a yubikey. I'm sure there's other portable hardware options. # git commit -S -m "message" You can also set to always sign automatically, # git config --global commit.gpgsign true -- Waitman GobbleReceived on Fri Dec 18 2020 - 01:02:19 UTC
