Error with signed commits

For some reason my git commits failed when I re-enabled gpg signing. This is how I finally fixed that problem.

Add to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf #
use-agent
pinentry-mode loopback
And add to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf #
allow-loopback-pinentry
Restart the agent #
$ echo RELOADAGENT | gpg-connect-agent
