To sign Git commits, you need a gpg key. GPG stands for GNU Privacy Guard and is the de facto implementation of the OpenPGP message format. PGP stands for ‘Pretty Good Privacy’ and is a standard to sign and encrypt messages.

Setting up

Install with Homebrew:

I am assuming you are here because like me, you installed a bazillion different python interpreters on mac and the whole thing is a spagetti. Today, I finally fixed my python installation. Whatever I install for python2 or python3 using pip JUST.WORKS.. My god! finally.

What the hell?

Here is what I had messed up, which you also probably did:

• I had too many different python interpreters
• Too many different symlinks which I lost track of
• almost no package I installed with pip worked without a headache
• any attempt to fix using online resources made it worse.

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.
