I recently added my GPG key to my git in order to sign commits. While doing so I ran into big problem. SourceTree wouldn’t allow me to configure it to use my HomeBrew GPG<\/a> installation (Error message: Invalid GPG Path). By default SourceTree only works with the GPG Suite<\/a> under MacOS, which is quite annoying since HomeBrew is pretty much my go-to approach to install anything command line related, as it should be for everyone \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

In order to get SourceTree working with GPG (GNUPG) under Mac you need to do the following.<\/p>\n

1. First install all GPG HomeBrew packages and\u00a0Pinentry for Mac<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

$ brew install gpg-agent gpg2 libgpg-error pinentry-mac<\/pre>\n
2. If you haven’t already generated your GPG key:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
$ gpg --gen-key<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0You’ll be asked a couple of questions in order to generate your key, afterwards you should see an output similar to this:<\/div>\n
\n
$ gpg --gen-key \r\n\r\n...\r\n\r\npub   rsa2048 2018-06-28 [SC] [expires: 2020-06-22]\r\n      0A46826A\r\nuid                      Kevin Goedecke <kevin.goedecke@gmail.com>\r\nsub   rsa2048 2018-06-22 [E] [expires: 2020-06-22]\r\n<\/pre>\n
Now tell you git cli to sign your commits with the key, that you just generated (replace the key ID with the key from the previous step).<\/p>\n
$ git config --global user.signingkey 0A46826A<\/pre>\n
After you’ve done this open SourceTree and then the settings (CMD + ,) and click on the “Advanced” tab on the right.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
SourceTree GPG HomeBrew Settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Click on Browse and navigate to\u00a0\/usr\/local\/bin<\/span>\u00a0, homebrew created already a symlink to\u00a0..\/Cellar\/gnupg\/2.2.8\/bin\/gpg<\/span>\u00a0here. Usually we would like to point SourceTree to this path and that’s it. But wait if we select this directory and try to close the settings. We get this:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Annoying… but there’s a little workaround. We will create a symlink to make SourceTree think there a file called\u00a0gpg2<\/span>\u00a0. So let’s just do that:<\/p>\n
$ ln -s ..\/Cellar\/gnupg\/2.2.8\/bin\/gpg \/usr\/local\/bin\/gpg2\r\n<\/pre>\n
Afterwards you can simply select the directory in SourceTree and it will accept it as your GPG binary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
