While there is a mono version of Git Extensions (v2.51 line) that does run just fine on Linux, it was my experience that even this mono version of GitExt doesn't work correctly on Mac (app crashes). It may be possible to resolve these issues but I don't believe there is any quick-and-easy path to getting it working. Sourcetree is a free Git client for Windows and Mac. Open and close the navigation menu. Install, update, and manage Sourcetree at scale in your managed enterprise.

I recently added my GPG key to my git in order to sign commits. While doing so I ran into big problem. SourceTree wouldn’t allow me to configure it to use my HomeBrew GPG installation (Error message: Invalid GPG Path). By default SourceTree only works with the GPG Suite under MacOS, which is quite annoying since HomeBrew is pretty much my go-to approach to install anything command line related, as it should be for everyone 😉

In order to get SourceTree working with GPG (GNUPG) under Mac you need to do the following.

1. First install all GPG HomeBrew packages and Pinentry for Mac

Now tell you git cli to sign your commits with the key, that you just generated (replace the key ID with the key from the previous step).

After you’ve done this open SourceTree and then the settings (CMD + ,) and click on the “Advanced” tab on the right.

Click on Browse and navigate to /usr/local/bin , homebrew created already a symlink to ../Cellar/gnupg/2.2.8/bin/gpg here. Usually we would like to point SourceTree to this path and that’s it. But wait if we select this directory and try to close the settings. We get this:

Annoying… but there’s a little workaround. We will create a symlink to make SourceTree think there a file called gpg2 . So let’s just do that:
