gitsign
Definition
Gitsign is a tool used to sign Git commits and tags with cryptographic signatures, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the code changes. It integrates with Git to provide a seamless experience for developers, allowing them to verify the origin of the code and detect unauthorized modifications. By using Gitsign, teams can enforce security policies that require signed commits, enhancing the overall security posture of the software development lifecycle.
Secure Settings Example
# Configure Gitsign to use a specific cryptographic key for signing
gitsign config --global user.signingkey <your-key-id>
# Enable commit signing by default
git config --global commit.gpgSign true
# Example of signing a commit
git commit -S -m "Secure commit with Gitsign"
Insecure Settings Example
# Not configuring a signing key, leading to unsigned commits
git config --global user.signingkey ""
# Disabling commit signing, allowing unsigned commits
git config --global commit.gpgSign false
# Example of an unsigned commit
git commit -m "Insecure commit without Gitsign"
