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

What solved it for me was making sure the key's name matched my git user name. I assume the emails have to match too. This might have to do with me using GPG KeyChain on my Mac. Not sure.

I thought I was naming the key when I filled this out, but I guess it was asking for my name (git user name).
