commit, you can override the default selection with this variable.
This option is passed unchanged to gpg's --local-user parameter,
so you may specify a key using any method that gpg supports.
+ If gpg.format is set to "ssh" this can contain the literal ssh public
+ key (e.g.: "ssh-rsa XXXXXX identifier") or a file which contains it and
+ corresponds to the private key used for signing. The private key
+ needs to be available via ssh-agent. Alternatively it can be set to
+ a file containing a private key directly. If not set git will call
+ gpg.ssh.defaultKeyCommand (e.g.: "ssh-add -L") and try to use the first
+ key available.
