Signing a commit does not encrypt that commit's contents, just adds a signature to prove you wrote that commit. From the Keybase FAQ: > So is this signing my commits? > No, this is happening at a lower level, (1) to allow encryption, and (2) to ensure no unsigned or unencrypted data makes it in. Intuitively you can think of it as you and your teammates using a cryptographic secure storage layer for your git origin that doesn't really understand git. > Your commits themselves are untouched from git's perspective, so if you mirror your repository elsewhere, it'll be a regular checkout.
