title: Creating Signed Releases of your Git Projects
published: 2018-06-08

This post describes how to create a PGP signed software release from your Git
project.
### Setup
We want to use `tar.xz` archives, and not `zip` or `tar.gz`, for this to work
we need to add a little snippet to `${HOME}/.gitconfig`:
[tar "tar.xz"]
command = xz -c
Now, with that out of the way, you can put the following POSIX shell script in
`${HOME}/.local/bin/make_release`. Make sure you make it "executable" with
`chmod 0755 ${HOME}/.local/bin/make_release`:
#!/bin/sh
PROJECT_NAME=$(basename "${PWD}")
PROJECT_VERSION=${1}
RELEASE_DIR="${PWD}/release"
if [ -z "${1}" ]
then
# we take the last "tag" of the Git repository as version
PROJECT_VERSION=$(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags)
echo Version: "${PROJECT_VERSION}"
fi
mkdir -p "${RELEASE_DIR}"
if [ -f "${RELEASE_DIR}/${PROJECT_NAME}-${PROJECT_VERSION}.tar.xz" ]
then
echo "Version ${PROJECT_VERSION} already has a release!"
exit 1
fi
git archive --prefix "${PROJECT_NAME}-${PROJECT_VERSION}/" "${PROJECT_VERSION}" -o "${RELEASE_DIR}/${PROJECT_NAME}-${PROJECT_VERSION}.tar.xz"
gpg2 --armor --detach-sign "${RELEASE_DIR}/${PROJECT_NAME}-${PROJECT_VERSION}.tar.xz"
### Creating a Release
Now, from your checked out repository you can run `make_release` and it will
create (by default) a signed archive of the last (annotated) tag of the
project. If you want to create a release of a specific tag, provide it as the
first argument to `make_release`:
$ mkdir tmp && cd tmp
$ git clone https://git.tuxed.net/fkooman/php-yubitwee
$ cd php-yubitwee
$ make_release
Version: 1.1.4
The following files are created:
$ ls -l php-yubitwee-*
-rw-rw-r--. 1 fkooman fkooman 8240 Jun 8 17:18 php-yubitwee-1.1.4.tar.xz
-rw-rw-r--. 1 fkooman fkooman 833 Jun 8 17:18 php-yubitwee-1.1.4.tar.xz.asc
You can verify the signature:
$ gpg2 --verify php-yubitwee-1.1.4.tar.xz.asc
gpg: assuming signed data in 'php-yubitwee-1.1.4.tar.xz'
gpg: Signature made Fri 08 Jun 2018 05:18:37 PM CEST
gpg: using RSA key 6237BAF1418A907DAA98EAA79C5EDD645A571EB2
gpg: Good signature from "François Kooman <fkooman@tuxed.net>" [ultimate]
Easy peasy ;-)
**UPDATE** (2018-06-09): the `git archive` command got a `--prefix` now as to
put the contents in a directory containing the name and version of the
software.
**UPDATE** (2018-06-26): add the `--yes` flag to `gpg2` to avoid it asking
to overwrite the signature file
**UPDATE** (2019-04-23): do not overwrite existing release(s), remove the
`--yes` flag again
