cache-gpg

Warms the GPG agent cache by performing a throwaway clearsign operation.

Usage

cache-gpg

No arguments. No output on success.

Why

git commit -S prompts for your GPG passphrase when the agent cache is cold. Running cache-gpg before your commit flow pre-unlocks the key so the signing step doesn’t interrupt with a passphrase prompt.

What it does

Pipes the string "test" through gpg --clearsign and discards the output. That is enough to unlock the key and populate the agent cache for the configured cache TTL.

Requirements

Requirement	Install
gpg installed and a signing key configured	brew install gnupg
GPG agent running	started automatically by gpg on modern systems
