-SIGNATURES
-----------
-
-Cgit can host .asc signatures corresponding to various snapshot formats,
-through use of git notes. For example, the following command may be used to
-add a signature to a .tar.xz archive:
-
- git notes --ref=refs/notes/signatures/tar.xz add -C "$(
- gpg --output - --armor --detach-sign cgit-1.1.tar.xz |
- git hash-object -w --stdin
- )" v1.1
-
-If it is instead desirable to attach a signature of the underlying .tar, this
-will be linked, as a special case, beside a .tar.* link that does not have its
-own signature. For example, a signature of a tarball of the latest tag might
-be added with a similar command:
-
- tag="$(git describe --abbrev=0)"
- git notes --ref=refs/notes/signatures/tar add -C "$(
- git archive --format tar --prefix "cgit-${tag#v}/" "$tag" |
- gpg --output - --armor --detach-sign |
- git hash-object -w --stdin
- )" "$tag"
-
-Since git-archive(1) is expected to produce stable output between versions,
-this allows one to generate a long-term signature of the contents of a given
-tag.
