I’m not going to cryptographically sign my git commits, and you shouldn’t either.

I’m curious to hear what the Lemmy programming community thinks of this!

  • The author argues against signing Git commits, stating that it adds unnecessary complexity to systems.
  • The author believes that signing commits perpetuates an engineering culture of blindly adopting complex tools.
  • The consequences of signing Git commits are likely to be subtle and not as dramatic as some may believe.

    I don’t sign my commits.

    Though I’ll admit I’m not making a moral judgement, it was just a pain in the ass to setup last time I had the time to try it.

      I don’t sign my commits because I’m not going to verify anyone’s commits.
