To display the GPG signature status of commits in Git, you can use the git log command with specific options to show the signature information. Here are a few methods you can use:
Method 1: Using git log
You can use the following command to display commits along with their GPG signature status:
git log --show-signature
This command will show the commit history along with the GPG signature verification status for each commit, indicating whether the commit is signed and if the signature is valid.
Method 2: Custom Formatting
If you prefer a more concise output, you can customize the format with the --pretty option. For example:
git log --pretty=medium --show-signature
Method 3: Check a Single Commit
If you want to check the signature status of a specific commit, you can use:
git show --show-signature <commit_hash>
Replace <commit_hash> with the actual hash of the commit you're interested in. This will display the commit details along with the GPG signature information.
Method 4: Using git verify-commit
If you want to verify the signature of a specific commit (before or after checking the log), you can use:
git verify-commit <commit_hash>
Again, replace <commit_hash> with the actual hash of the commit you want to verify. This command will tell you whether the commit’s signature is valid.
Summary
Using these methods, you can easily check the GPG signature status of commits in a Git repository. Make sure that your GPG keys are properly set up in your Git configuration for signing commits to work correctly.
