| The main difference is that instead of only the `commit.gpgSign` as the flag that tells Git to automatically sign commits, we look for `gitbutler.signCommits` first. Thus, if Git would sign, GitButler will attempt to sign your commits with the normal Git settings as well. | ||
| But if something goes wrong, `gitbutler.signCommits` will be set to `false` in the repository-local settings to prevent commits from | ||
| failing generally. | ||
| Set `gitbutler.signCommits` to `true` in your user-level `~/.gitconfig`, to prevent GitButler from automatically disabling commit signing for that repository. |
