$ git config --global user.signingkey E5W5QU4O429GHPWZ
$ git config --global commit.gpgsign true

Test that comminting from cli works

$ git commit -S -m "testing signed commits"

Add no-tty to your GPG configuration, to allow Tower to use it

echo no-tty >> ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

You'll need to specify the absolute path to the gpg program in order for Tower to be able to find it

git config --global gpg.program /usr/local/bin/gpg
