Signing commits

[mattheworiordan]

Gitx does not respect the configuration of Git config and sign commits.

It looks like this project is no longer maintained sadly, but if it ever is, it would be nice to add support for signed commits. See https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Signing-Your-Work for more info

I also expected it to just work after updating git config to sign commits automatically and selecting the git executable in gitx preferences but sadly it didn't.

Can we create a "proxy" executable which simply adds -S option to commit and forwards all commands to the real git executable?

[T-Pham]

This is my first attempt https://github.com/T-Pham/gitgpgproxy
The idea is to insert -S after the commit-tree subcommand, which is used by GitX when creating a new commit. However, GitX failed to create the commit when I tried.

Note that development has (mostly) moved to gitx/gitx, which still has no binary release yet, but is kinda supported.
