Tooling for verification of PGP signed commits
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is an incomplete work in progress, but currently includes a pre-push hook
|
||
|
|
script (`pre-push-hook.sh`) for maintainers to ensure that their own commits
|
||
|
|
are PGP signed (nearly always merge commits), as well as a script to verify
|
||
|
|
commits against a trusted keys list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using verify-commits.sh safely
|
||
|
|
------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Remember that you can't use an untrusted script to verify itself. This means
|
||
|
|
that checking out code, then running `verify-commits.sh` against `HEAD` is
|
||
|
|
_not_ safe, because the version of `verify-commits.sh` that you just ran could
|
||
|
|
be backdoored. Instead, you need to use a trusted version of verify-commits
|
||
|
|
prior to checkout to make sure you're checking out only code signed by trusted
|
||
|
|
keys:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git fetch origin && \
|
||
|
|
./contrib/verify-commits/verify-commits.sh origin/master && \
|
||
|
|
git checkout origin/master
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the above isn't a good UI/UX yet, and needs significant improvements
|
||
|
|
to make it more convenient and reduce the chance of errors; pull-reqs
|
||
|
|
improving this process would be much appreciated.
