I am facing this error on windows machine when trying to commit with signing using gpg:
$ git commit -m “test”
error: waitpid for C:\Users\mohit.kumar\AppData\Local\Programs\gnupg\bin**\gpg.exe failed: No child processes**
error: gpg failed to sign the data
fatal: failed to write commit object
Hi @kmohit520,
one of the popular git package for windows comes with its own version of GnuPG.
As next debugging step you can try to just sign a regular file directly with that version of gpg.exe to see if you get more useful error messages.
If you know the path, try something like
....pathto\gpg.exe -v --sign ...pathto\afile.txt
and see if this works.
Best Regards
Bernhard
