Then add the following line to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:

or, if using the new Homebrew location:

pinentry-program /opt/homebrew/bin/pinentry-mac

I tried this and I get invalid option for both .conf files when running gpg-agent. Is gpg-agent even required for this solution?

Thanks, super helpful 🙌

I had to restart my gpg-agent after applying the configuration change: gpgconf --kill gpg-agent (no need to restart it - it will be restarted automatically as soon as you try to interact with your keys, e.g. gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format long)
