## Commit signature
|
|
For security reason we require all commits to be cryptographically signed.
|
|
This section explains how to setup the development environment for that purpose.
|
|
|
|
### Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code for Windows
|
|
You need to install Git for Windows. It is available as a component of Visual Studio, or separately in https://gitforwindows.org.
|
|
|
|
You also need to install Gpg4win from https://www.gpg4win.org. Ensure to select the Kleopatra component.
|
|
|
|
Once you have them installed, open Kleopatra and generate a new key pair, of OpenPGP type, following the instructions [here](https://www.gpg4win.org/doc/en/gpg4win-compendium_12.html).
|
|
Save aside the fingerprint, you'll need it later.
|
|
|
|
Now go to environment variables (in the properties of your computer) and add this to the path:
|
|
`C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin`
|
|
|
|
Finally, open Git Bash, and write the following commands if you want all git commits to be signed:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git config --global commit.gpgsign true
|
|
git config --global user.signingkey <FINGERPRINT>
|
|
git config --global gpg.program "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe"
|
|
```
|
|
or if you want the options to apply only for this project
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /DRIVE/PATH_TO_PROJECT
|
|
git config commit.gpgsign true
|
|
git config user.signingkey FINGERPRINT
|
|
git config gpg.program "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
replacing `FINGERPRINT` with the fingerprint you saved from the key generation, `DRIVE` with the drive letter and `PATH_TO_PROJECT` using `/` as path separator.
|
|
|
|
Once this is done, every time you commit in VS / VSCode, a message box titled `pinentry-qt` will ask for the passphrase you set up earlier and sign the commit with your key.
|
|

|
For GitHub to recognize your signature you need to follow the steps [here](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/adding-a-new-gpg-key-to-your-github-account). |
