Description

To be fair, it's entirely possible I'm just a noob or an idiot here. I have my Git config set up to automatically sign my commits using a GPG signature, which is configured with a passphrase. However, that means when I try to commit changes using the T3 Code interface, it simply returns an error, as there is no mechanism to accept my GPG passphrase.

This leaves me with one of two options:

  • Update my Git config so automatic signing is turned off
  • Manually commit changes using the terminal

As of right now, I've chosen the latter.
Edit: Just realized I can configure the Git config locally. Still not ideal, but a better temporary solution.

Research direction

Start in the T3 Code interface's commit flow and reproduce the issue with Git automatic signing enabled and a passphrase-protected GPG key. Trace how the flow handles the commit authentication step; done means users can commit through the interface without disabling signing or switching to the terminal.
