Add support for GPG card with pin #92

Closed abruehl closed 5 years ago

abruehl commented 8 years ago

I have a GPG2 card that requires me to enter a pin each time it encrypts. It appears git-crypt simply fails to encrypt without asking for a pin.

It would be great if support for a GPG card with pin was added.

In the mean time, I did create a local GPG2 key just for git-crypt.

@abruehl You need to correctly configure your gpg and git configurations; this is not an issue with git-crypt. (I use multiple yubikeys myself, no issues on Debian 8, Kubuntu 16.04, Kubuntu 16.10, or Arch).

If you're still having issues, I recommend posting reproduction steps and config files.

Is there any documentation how to configure git-crypt git and gpg to work with yubikey?

sporkwitch commented 5 years ago

@dkreuer Nothing needed on the git-crypt side, and plenty of Googleable guides on how to set up git to use keys stored on a token.

@dkreuer indicates, everything for yubikey is GPG side configuration. Most of the gotchas I ran into were related to GPG vs GPGv2 configuration and profile vs shell contexts. you will likely want the graphical pinentry program
