Is this backward compatible with clients that do not support SSH signing yet or older versions of git?
i.e What happens if I push a SSH signed commit to a Gitlab or Bitbucket remote or mirror the repository? How do the commits appear to a client that does not understand SSH signatures?
- Beltalowda 4y agoIt's just ignored. The signing data is added in the same way as a GPG key, just in a different format. Git commands don't look at signatures by default, and if they do, they will just say "invalid signing format" or some such. It's always possible some program handles this badly, but I've been signing with ssh pretty much since the day it was added to git (before it was in a release) and never experienced any problems or complaints.
