.SH NAME
PATATT \- DKIM-like cryptographic patch attestation
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
patatt {sign,validate,genkey,install\-hook} [options]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
This tools allows cryptographically signing patches sent via email
by using DKIM\-like message headers. This approach is both effective and
doesn\(aqt interfere with other code review tools the way inline or
detached PGP signatures do. For a full overview of core concepts and
considerations, please see README.
.sp
If you already have a PGP key configured for signing git tags or
commits, then you should be able to use patatt without any additional
configuration. Try running the following in any git repository:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
git format\-patch \-1 \-\-stdout | patatt sign
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
If patatt is not finding your PGP key, try adding the following to your
~/.gitconfig:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
[user]
    signingkey = [yourkeyid]
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
To find out your keyid, run \fBgpg \-\-list\-secret\-keys\fP\&. If you want to
use a specific subkey, you can specify the subkey ID with a \fB!\fP at the
end.
.SH USING AS A GIT HOOK
.sp
If you use \fBgit\-send\-email\fP for sending patches, then you can get
them automatically signed via the \fBsendemail\-validate\fP hook. To install,
run the following command in the repository you want enabled for signing:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ patatt install\-hook
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Or you can install it manually:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ echo \(aqpatatt sign \-\-hook "${1}"\(aq >> .git/hooks/sendemail\-validate
$ chmod a+x .git/hooks/sendemail\-validate
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.SH SUBCOMMANDS
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fIsign\fP: sign stdin or RFC2822 files passed as arguments
.IP \(bu 2
\fIvalidate\fP: basic validation for signed messages
.IP \(bu 2
\fIgenkey\fP: generate a new ed25519 keypair
.IP \(bu 2
\fIinstall\-hook\fP: install sendemail\-validate hook in the current repository
.UNINDENT
.sp
You can run \fBpatatt [subcommand] \-\-help\fP to see a summary of flags for
each subcommand.
