If you are on Linux, just delete the '~/.gitconfig' or '/home/$USER/.gitconfig' file. This will take git to an unconfigured state. The problem was that somehow the configuration file got changed by some unwanted operation and the value of `gpgsign` was set to `null`. Deleting the file or deleting the line containing `gpgsign` should solve the problem.

Edit: That problem is due to you have "git gpg signing" turned on, but no GnuPG installed. It's easy to disable it permanently by modyfing your .gitconfig, just type this command:

git config --global commit.gpgsign false

Ok I managed to fix the issue following this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39494631/gpg-failed-to-sign-the-data-fatal-failed-to-write-commit-object-git-2-10-0 and Shayan Amani answer. Basically we need to update our gpgsign and sync the email with it inside GitHub.

Could you try the next command?


git -c commit.gpgsign=false commit
