You need to tell git who you are, since it is unable to deduce it from doing host lookups. Try: git config --global user.email garyyang6@xxxxxxxxx or whatever email address you used when you created the key, and then gpg should find it appropriately. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
