Generating a GPG key for git tagging

Question

I\'m trying to create signed tags in GitHub using the git command line. I generated a GPG key with a (sample) username Full Name (skytreader)

Answer 1

The committer name is located in your ~/.gitconfig file. Change that entry to a real name (which is how you want to be committing, anyway). You can edit the file in your favorite editor, or just issue:

git config --global user.name ""
