SSH Commit-ondertekeningsgids

Niet-ondertekende commits kunnen door iedereen worden gemaakt. Ondertekening bewijst:

Waarom commits ondertekenen?

• Identiteit — de commit is gemaakt door de sleutelhouder.
• Integriteit — de commit is niet gewijzigd sinds ondertekening.
• Vertrouwen — platforms tonen een "Geverifieerd"-badge.

Vereisten

• Git 2.34+ (git --version)
• SSH (Ed25519)
• GitHub / GitLab

Stap 1: Ondertekeningssleutel genereren

# Generate an Ed25519 key for signing
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your@email.com" -f ~/.ssh/id_signing

# Verify the key was created
ls -la ~/.ssh/id_signing*

Stap 2: Git configureren

# Set the signing format to SSH
git config --global gpg.format ssh

# Point to your signing key
git config --global user.signingkey ~/.ssh/id_signing.pub

# Enable automatic commit signing
git config --global commit.gpgsign true

# Enable automatic tag signing
git config --global tag.gpgsign true

[gpg]
    format = ssh
[user]
    signingkey = ~/.ssh/id_signing.pub
[commit]
    gpgsign = true
[tag]
    gpgsign = true

Stap 3: Toegestane ondertekenaars instellen

# Create the allowed signers file
mkdir -p ~/.config/git
echo "your@email.com $(cat ~/.ssh/id_signing.pub)" > ~/.config/git/allowed_signers

# Tell Git where to find it
git config --global gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile ~/.config/git/allowed_signers

Stap 4: Ondertekenen en verifiëren

# Commits are now signed automatically
git commit -m "feat: add new feature"

# Or sign a single commit explicitly
git commit -S -m "feat: signed commit"

# Sign a tag
git tag -s v1.0.0 -m "Release v1.0.0"

# Verify the last commit
git log --show-signature -1

# Verify a tag
git tag -v v1.0.0

Stap 5: Registreren bij GitHub / GitLab

GitHub

1. Settings → SSH and GPG keys → New SSH key
2. Key type: Signing Key
3. ~/.ssh/id_signing.pub

GitLab

1. Preferences → SSH Keys
2. Usage type: Signing
3. ~/.ssh/id_signing.pub
