Sign Git commits with gitsign for keyless Sigstore-backed commit provenance

domain: docs.sigstore.dev/signing/gitsign · 5 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Install `gitsign` from the Sigstore releases and configure Git to use it: `git config --global gpg.x509.program gitsign` and `git config --global gpg.format x509`
  2. Set `commit.gpgsign = true` in your global or repo-level Git config to auto-sign all commits
  3. When committing, gitsign opens a browser OIDC flow to obtain a short-lived Fulcio certificate; complete the OAuth login to obtain the signing certificate
  4. Verify a signed commit with `gitsign verify --certificate-identity-regexp '...' --certificate-oidc-issuer https://accounts.google.com HEAD`
  5. Push to GitHub; the commit will display a verified badge if the identity matches the GitHub account's associated email
