By adjusting Git's `config` file within Gitea's
repositories, `SIGNING_KEY=default` could be used to provide different
signing keys on a per-repository basis. However, this is clearly not an
ideal UI and therefore subject to change.
:::warning
**Since 1.17**, Gitea runs git in its own home directory `[git].HOME_PATH` (default to `%(APP_DATA_PATH)/home`)
and uses its own config `{[git].HOME_PATH}/.gitconfig`.
If you have your own customized git config for Gitea, you should set these configs in system git config (aka `/etc/gitconfig`)
or the Gitea internal git config `{[git].HOME_PATH}/.gitconfig`.
Related home files for git command (like `.gnupg`) should also be put in Gitea's git home directory `[git].HOME_PATH`.
If you like to keep the `.gnupg` directory outside of `{[git].HOME_PATH}/`, consider setting the `$GNUPGHOME` environment variable to your preferred location.
If you like to keep the `.gnupg` directory outside of `{[git].HOME_PATH}/`, consider setting the `$GNUPGHOME` environment variable to your preferred location, otherwise Gitea will use the gpg keys only under `{[git].HOME_PATH}/.gnupg`.
