Signing Git commits using SSH key fails

Viewed 34

I'm trying to sign Git commits with my ed25519 public ssh key and push them to GitHub.

When I run git commit -S -m "initial commit" Git returns:

error: Load key "/tmp/.git_signing_key_tmpJBIzAj": invalid format?

fatal: failed to write commit object

Tried using a RSA 3072 keypair, generated with ssh-keygen, but I get the same results. Downgrading to OpenSSH_8.8p1 (Git release notes specifically said that 8.8 worked) and generating a new keypair dosen't seem to work either.

My global ~/.gitconfig looks something like this:

[user]
       email = my@email.com
       name = IceDops
       signingKey = ssh-ed25519 AAAA(...)
[commit]
       gpgsign = true
[gpg]
       format = ssh

Running Git 2.37.3 and OpenSSH_9.0p1 on Arch Linux
