Git Troubleshooting

Lazygit cannot commit

Signed commits from lazygit fail when GPG has no GUI pinentry and no TTY.

brew install lazygit pinentry-mac
make stow-gnupg stow-zsh stow-lazygit
gpgconf --kill gpg-agent

Then open a new shell (so GPG_TTY is set) and run lazygit. Commit with c.

If lazygit is wedged at 100% CPU, it is likely the old 0.35 binary. lazygit --version should be 0.64 or newer.

Confirm GPG can sign without a TUI:

echo test | gpg --clearsign >/dev/null

A macOS pinentry window is expected when the agent cache is cold.
