git - gpg onto mac osx: error: gpg failed to sign the data

Question

I installed GPG from brew.

brew install gpg

It is gnupg2-2.0.30_2.

When I commit, I do get a error message:

You nee         


        

Answer 1

I had the same error message and found that my key was expired. So it might be a good idea to check your key expiration with:

gpg --list-keys

If your key is expired as well you can adjust the expiration date with:

gpg --edit-key

and then:

gpg> expire
...enter the new expiration date...
gpg> save
