## Usage
|
|
|
|
[Configure this app](https://github.com/apps/probot-gpg) on your organizations and repositories. Be sure to enable [required status checks](https://help.github.com/articles/about-required-status-checks/) if you want to enforce GPG signatures on all pull requests.
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
Git supports [signing commits with GPG keys](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Signing-Your-Work) to verify commit authorship beyond the easy-to-forge [author](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#git-commit---authorltauthorgt) field.
|
|
|
|
GitHub supports [verifying GPG signatures on commits](https://github.com/blog/2144-gpg-signature-verification) and has an excellent [series of help articles](https://help.github.com/articles/signing-commits-with-gpg/) for creating a GPG key, using it with `git` locally, and linking it to your GitHub account.
|
|
|
|
After installation, this app [checks all commits](https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/commits/#compare-two-commits) of new (or newly updated) pull requests for valid GPG signatures [according to the GitHub API](https://developer.github.com/changes/2016-04-04-git-signing-api-preview/). Note that for the status check to pass, _every_ contributor of a pull request must:
|
|
- set up a GPG key on their local machine
|
|
- sign _all_ of their commits in the pull request with that key
|
|
- link that key with their GitHub account
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, the app will set the status to `failed`.
