The gpgsign feature is not available via bashcompletion on git. $ git config --global commit. commit.status commit.template $ git config --global commit.gpgsign true $ git --version git version 2.10.2 Due to this I could also find no option to automatically sign every tag that I do. If this option does not exist yet, please add it to the todo list. If those reports are tracked anywhere else, please also let me know, so I can test that out. Cheers, Nico
