Research direction

No files, tests, or implementation entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing CLI commands and setup flow, then determine how repository paths, branches, tags, GPG signing modes, and secret-key selection should be represented; done means the listed setup and targeted-branch or tag usages work without ambiguity.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement meta

Implementation

  • Multiselect which operation to use gpgsign
git config push.gpgsign if-asked
git config commit.gpgsign true
git config tag.gpgsign true
  • Select signingkey from list-secret-keys
gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format long
git config user.signingkey 0123346789ABCDEF
git config user.name Spam Killer
git config user.email spamkiller@dispossable.email

Usage

  • Automatic from url or path
git setup https://github.com/cli/cli

# or for existing repo
git setup

# works with multiple repos too
git setup ~/Projects/OSS/{ repo1, repo2 }
  • Manual on specific branches and/or tags
git setup --gpgsign hotfix/big-bug feature/branch
  • Support wildcards (handy for tags)
git setup --signingkey 'v3.0.0-[alpha|beta].*'
  • --gpgsign and --signingkey should be the same (to avoid confusion)
