Git GPG signing

If you require GPG signing, please ensure your git config is correct before running nsv.

Importing a GPG key

gpg-import is a tool you can easily integrate into your CI workflow and only needs a single environment variable (GPG_PRIVATE_KEY) to import a GPG key and configure your git config.

Committer impersonation

When tagging your repository, nsv will identify the person associated with the commit that triggered the release and dynamically passes these to git through the user.name and user.email config settings.

Any of the following conditions will remove the need for impersonation:

1. The repository has the user.name and user.email settings already defined in git config.
2. The git environment variables GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL exist.
