How to disable git gpg signing

Question

I'm using git gpg signing. I want to disable it. I've set .gitconfig

[user]
    name = NAME
    email = EMAIL
    signingkey = KEY
...
[commit]
    gpgsign = false

My commits are still signing by default.

PS: I also disabled from Sourcetree Repository/ Repository Settings/Security tab. Both Sourcetree and terminal forces to use gpg.

You can disable this by running git config commit.gpgsign false This sets the configuration locally instead of globally.

Putting this setting in .gitconfig worked for me with what you had, without the [user] configuration:

[commit]
    gpgsign = false

To temporarily disable GPG signing for the next commit:

git -c commit.gpgsign=false commit

can we create something like `git commit --disable-sign [...]` as a shortcut? – JobaDiniz Oct 10 '22 at 18:21

To disable Git GPG signing for every repository on your computer

git config --global commit.gpgsign false

To disable Git GPG signing for a single repository

git config commit.gpgsign false

If you want to enable GPG signing again just replace false with true

To unsign the last commit:

git commit --amend --no-gpg-sign

Countermand commit.gpgSign configuration variable that is set to force each and every commit to be signed.
