6 This chapter describes maintainer level git configuration.
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
15 git config user.signingkey "keyname"
17 Alternatively, edit your ``.git/config`` or ``~/.gitconfig`` file by hand:
23 signingkey = jd@domain.org
25 You may need to tell ``git`` to use ``gpg2``
29 program = /path/to/gpg2
31 You may also like to tell ``gpg`` which ``tty`` to use (add to your shell rc file)
