GPG + Git SSH Authentication and Signing on Windows 10

Introduction

This simple Gist will explain how to settup your GPG key to work for SSH authentication (with Git) and Git commit signing on Windows 10. This may seem straightforward on Linux, but there are certain tweaks needed on Windows.

No Cygwin, no MinGW, no Git Bash or any other Linux emulated environment. This works in pure Windows 10.

REM This tiny Windows script will calculate the next version number for 
REM your Git project using Git tags. This is meant for CI such as AppVeyor.
REM 
REM For example:
REM You create a Git project with an initial commit and a tag "v1.0.0"
REM Running this script will do nothing in that case (because there are
REM no new commits since the latest tag).
REM But, if you create another commit and run this script, the calculated
REM version (the next tag) will be v1.0.1. This is calculated based
REM on the latest git commit and if the latest tag points to the commit hash.
