gpg failed to sign the data
After a recent brew update
I was unable to commit using git as I had previously set up gpg signing on all my commits.
> git commit
main [3713e57] added
error: gpg failed to sign the data
fatal: failed to write commit object
Fortunately the fix was quite simple. I just needed to give gpg a kick!
gpgconf --kill gpg-agent
