Style.  Open and close braces around a function sit on their own
lines by themselves.

Whose releasing the resource held by "keys" when we return?

I often load about half a dozen keys to my ssh-agent so "ssh-add -L"
will give me multi-line output.  I know you wrote "the first public
key" above, but that does not mean users who needs to have multiple
keys can be limited to use only the first key for signing.  There
should be a way to say "I may have many keys for other reasons, but
for signing I want to use this key, not the other ones".
I will make the commit message clearer. This function only provides a default key in case no key is configured in user.signingkey. If you set user.signingkey to a public key the correct private key from your agent will be used for signing.

+	if (!ret) {
+		keys = strbuf_split_max(&key_stdout, '\n', 2);
Let's not use strbuf_split_*() that is a horribly wrong interface.
You do not want a set of elastic buffer after splitting.  You only
are peeking the first line, no?  You are leaking keys[] array and
probably keys[1], too.

	eol = strchrnul(key_stdout.buf, '\n');
	strbuf_setlen(&key_stdout, eol - key_stdout.buf);

or something along that line, perhaps?
I have changed it to what you suggested. I'm always a bit hesitant to use arithmetic with string pointers.
I know its simple and efficient, but IMHO can be hard to read.

+		if (keys[0])
+			return strbuf_detach(keys[0], NULL);

  const char *get_signing_key(void)
Missing blank line after the function body.

  {
  	if (configured_signing_key)
