Methods of Signing Git Commits on MacOS

Last updated March 13, 2024

This Gist explains how to sign commits using gpg in a step-by-step fashion. Previously, krypt.co was heavily mentioned, but I've only recently learned they were acquired by Akamai and no longer update their previous free products. Those mentions have been removed.

Additionally, 1Password now supports signing Git commits with SSH keys and makes it pretty easy-plus you can easily configure Git Tower to use it for both signing and ssh.

For using a GUI-based GIT tool such as Tower or Github Desktop, follow the steps here for signing your commits with GPG.

Safari iframe cookie workaround

Safari by default discards cookies set in an iframe unless the host that's serving the iframe has set a cookie before, outside the iframe. Safari is the only browser that does this.

The 10k foot view

In order to get around the issue, the parent (src) and child/iframed/remote (dest) site have to work together, if the source site only wants users to access the destination via the iframe and can't assume that the user has visited the destination host before.

}

const nodemon = require('nodemon');
const ngrok = require('ngrok');

// We start an ngrok tunnel to ensure it stays the same for the entire process

Intro

Recently, I had to implement an offline mapping solution for an iOS application. Here's a walkthrough of how to do it.

Summary

I generated a tile database using TileMill. I used the Route-Me iOS library which provides a map view that supports offline tile sources.
