RE: Git Commit Signature Encoding

[Rene Schumacher <Rene.Schumacher@microsoft.com>]

Hi Philippe,

thank you for the feedback. Perhaps the reason really is the gpg4win installation. I'll put together all steps I followed to set up my environment and create an issue on GitHub. Thanks for pointing me to the correct repo!

Cheers,
René

You might have seen my second email to the list in which I described that setting the OutputEncoding in PowerShell to UTF-8 fixed at least the display of the é (and probably all other umlauts and special printable characters). The signature output from git show --show-signatur is still printing the ^M carriage return character at the end of each line:

I've tried to replicate with 2.30.0.windows.2 and gpg 2.2.27 (that comes with Git-for-Windows), and could not, neither in Git Bash, Cmd, Windows Powershell or Powershell Core 7.1.1.

Maybe if you can provide a complete reproducer with all needed steps (git init, gpg --gen-key, etc) you would get more help in the Git-for-Windows issue tracker:
