Git error - gpg failed to sign data

Question

I just started using git and I install git and gpg via homebrew. For some reason, I get this error when i do git commit I looked at so many other stackoverflow

Answer 1

I had to fix the gpg.program to the absolute path to gpg:

git config --global gpg.program "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe"

I am using Windows with cygwin.
