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.
