Development projects can get very busy. When projects do expand (especially those of an open-source nature), they take on more and more developers.

This is accomplished with the following two commands: git config --global user.email "EMAIL" git config --global user.name "NAME"

To do that, issue the following two commands: git config --global commit.gpgsign true git config --global gpg.format ssh

You can then confirm the SSH signing has been set up correctly with the command: git commit --allow-empty --message="Did SSH signing work?"
