When I try to send the project up to the new Github repo I created using: git add .
Then: git commit -m "first commit" I get:
fatal: cannot run gpg: No such file or directory error: gpg failed to sign the data fatal: failed to write commit object
I don't want to use drag and drop. I've already uploaded a zip file of the project manually using the drag and drop feature.
So in the terminal I type: git init
This does initialise the local directory: Reinitialized existing Git repository in /Users/iancraig/TRAINING/REACT/JOHN_SMILGA_REACT_COURSE_V3/react-course-v3-main/02-backroads-project/my-app/.git/
I then type: git add .
Then: git commit -m "first commit"
Which results in:
fatal: cannot run gpg: No such file or directory error: gpg failed to sign the data fatal: failed to write commit object
This is my first attempt at creating and connecting to a new repository in Github. This is such a basic thing to attempt to do with Github so what's going on here? I've downloaded and added a new SSH key successfully to my account.
