+Configure Git
+=============
+
+This chapter describes maintainer level git configuration.
+
+Tagged branches used in :ref:`Documentation/maintainer/pull-requests.rst
+<pullrequests>` should be signed with the developers public GPG key. Signed
+tags can be created by passing the ``-u`` flag to ``git tag``. However,
+since you would *usually* use the same key for the same project, you can
+set it once with
+::
+
+	git config user.signingkey "keyname"
+
+Alternatively, edit your ``.git/config`` or ``~/.gitconfig`` file by hand:
+::
+
+	[user]
+		name = Jane Developer
+		email = jd@domain.org
+		signingkey = jd@domain.org
+
+You may need to tell ``git`` to use ``gpg2``
+::
+
+	[gpg]
+		program = /path/to/gpg2
+
+You may also like to tell ``gpg`` which ``tty`` to use (add to your shell rc file)
+::
+
+	export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
