In every case, the command which is about to create an object or transaction determines a payload from that, calls an external program to obtain a detached signature for the payload (<code>gpg -bsa</code> in the case of PGP signatures), and embeds the signature into the object or transaction.</p> <p>Signatures begin with an "ASCII Armor" header line and end with a tail line, which differ depending on signature type (as selected by <code>gpg.format</code>, see <a href="git-config">git-config[1]</a>). These are, for <code>gpg.format</code> values:</p> <div class="dlist"> <dl> <dt class="hdlist1" id="Documentation/gitformat-signature.txt-codegpgcodePGP"> <code>gpg</code> (PGP) </dt> <dd> <p><code>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----</code> and <code>-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----</code>. Or, if gpg is told to produce RFC1991 signatures, <code>-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----</code> and <code>-----END PGP MESSAGE-----</code></p> </dd> <dt class="hdlist1" id="Documentation/gitformat-signature.txt-codesshcodeSSH"> <code>ssh</code> (SSH) </dt> <dd> <p><code>-----BEGIN SSH SIGNATURE-----</code> and <code>-----END SSH SIGNATURE-----</code></p> </dd> <dt class="hdlist1" id="Documentation/gitformat-signature.txt-codex509codeX509"> <code>x509</code> (X.509) </dt> <dd> <p><code>-----BEGIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----</code> and <code>-----END SIGNED MESSAGE-----</code></p> </dd> </dl> </div> <p>Signatures sometimes appear as a part of the normal payload (e.g. a signed tag has the signature block appended after the payload that the signature applies to), and sometimes appear in the value of an object header (e.g. a merge commit that merged a signed tag would have the entire tag contents on its "mergetag" header). In the case of the latter, the usual multi-line formatting rule for object headers applies. I.e. the second and subsequent lines are prefixed with a SP to signal that the line is continued from the previous line.</p> <p>This is even true for an originally empty line. In the following examples, the end of line that ends with a whitespace letter is highlighted with a <code>$</code> sign; if you are trying to recreate these example by hand, do not cut and paste them—they are there primarily to highlight extra whitespace at the end of some lines.</p> <p>The signed payload and the way the signature is embedded depends on the type of the object resp. transaction.</p> </div> <h2 id="_tag_signatures">Tag signatures</h2> <div class="sectionbody"> <div class="ulist"> <ul> <li> <p>created by: <code>git tag -s</code></p> </li> <li> <p>payload: annotated tag object</p> </li> <li> <p>embedding: append the signature to the unsigned tag object</p> </li> <li> <p>example: tag <code>signedtag</code> with subject <code>signed tag</code></p> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre>object 04b871796dc0420f8e7561a895b52484b701d51a -type commit -tag signedtag -tagger C O Mitter <committer@example.com> 1465981006 +0000 - -signed tag - -signed tag message body ------BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- -Version: GnuPG v1 - -iQEcBAABAgAGBQJXYRhOAAoJEGEJLoW3InGJklkIAIcnhL7RwEb/+QeX9enkXhxn -rxfdqrvWd1K80sl2TOt8Bg/NYwrUBw/RWJ+sg/hhHp4WtvE1HDGHlkEz3y11Lkuh -8tSxS3qKTxXUGozyPGuE90sJfExhZlW4knIQ1wt/yWqM+33E9pN4hzPqLwyrdods -q8FWEqPPUbSJXoMbRPw04S5jrLtZSsUWbRYjmJCHzlhSfFWW4eFd37uquIaLUBS0 -rkC3Jrx7420jkIpgFcTI2s60uhSQLzgcCwdA2ukSYIRnjg/zDkj8+3h/GaROJ72x -lZyI6HWixKJkWw8lE9aAOD9TmTW9sFJwcVAzmAuFX2kUreDUKMZduGcoRYGpD7E= -=jpXa ------END PGP SIGNATURE-----</pre> </div> </div> <div class="ulist"> <ul> <li> <p>verify with: <code>git verify-tag [-v]</code> or <code>git tag -v</code></p> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre>gpg: Signature made Wed Jun 15 10:56:46 2016 CEST using RSA key ID B7227189 -gpg: Good signature from "Eris Discordia <discord@example.net>" -gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
