There is already a more generic thread on the topic, Remember GPG password when signing git commits, but the answer there doesn't work for me. My environment is:
I installed GnuPG via Homebrew and wrote the following settings into the ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf file:
default-cache-ttl 1209600 # 14 days
max-cache-ttl 31536000 # 1 year
But the cache isn't applied. Every ten minutes or so after I do a git commit, gpg prompts me to input the password again.
This is my global .gitignore file:
[commit]
gpgSign = true
What am I missing?
In my personal setup I have added the signingkey to the user section.
[user]
name = "Marco Franssen"
email = "marco@my-email.com"
signingkey = 63B0C3B53E26....
[commit]
gpgSign = true
Furthermore I have the following plugins in oh-my-zsh. (~/.zshrc)
plugins=(git keychain gpg-agent)
zstyle :omz:plugins:keychain agents ssh,gpg
zstyle :omz:plugins:keychain identities id_rsa 63B0C3B53E2....
This plugin boots an agent for my ssh and gpg keys.
Furthermore I have added the following file
$ cat ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
default-cache-ttl 3600
For Bash you might add the following to your ~/.bashrc.
