Research direction

Review the issue’s Git commands and the referenced gpg.conf and gpg-agent.conf settings first. The request does not identify a Go file, entry point, test, or precise acceptance criteria; define how cgit should expose Git signing support and how the resulting configuration will be verified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

brew install gnupg gnupg2 pinentry-mac
git config --global user.signingkey <YOUR_SIGNING_KEY>
git config --global commit.gpgsign true
git config --global gpg.program gpg

Put the following in gpg.conf file (edit file with nano ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf command):

no-tty
Put the following in gpg-agent.conf file (edit file with nano ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf command):

pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac

Update:

You might need to execute killall gpg-agent command after editing the configurations file, gpg.conf, according to the comments. As the self-explanatory command says, this command will terminate the GPG (Gnu Privacy Guard) agent.
