GPG signing and IntelliJ IDEA

gpg_signing_and_intellij_idea.md

The problem

By default, IntelliJ won't support the equivalent of git commit -S ... because that command expects a terminal to input the GPG passphrase.

The solution

Create a script that will perform the GPG signing on commits without a terminal:

gpg-no-tty.sh

#!/bin/bash
gpg --batch --no-tty "$@"

Reference that script in your gitconfig:

[commit]
        gpgsign = true
[gpg]
        program = /path/to/script/gpg-no-tty.sh

And that's it. Enjoy!
