Note that your git email has to correlate to your gpg key email. If you use a different email for git, you'll need to either generate a new gpg key for that email or set your git email using the command:
````
$ git config user.email foo@example.com
````
If your git email is configured incorrectly, you will receive the error:
````
error: gpg failed to sign the data
fatal: failed to write commit object
````
when committing to git.

Password managers such as [pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/) and [gopass](https://www.justwatch.com/gopass/) rely on GPG for encryption so you can use your device with them too.
