# Snyk Broker - commit signing

{% hint style="info" %}
**Availability**

Snyk Broker commit signing is available only with Enterprise plans. For more information, see [Plans and pricing](https://snyk.io/plans/).
{% endhint %}

As of version v4.151.0, the Snyk Broker Client supports commit signing for GitHub integration. With a brokered setup, you can sign GitHub commits for fix PRs with your GPG key and a dedicated user you have configured.

## Requirements for commit signing

* Broker Client version v4.151.0 or higher
* A GitHub account configured to sign commits with a GPG key properly configured under the **Access** > **SSH and GPG keys** section

## Configuration of commit signing

1. To use commit signing, provide the following environment variables for the Broker Client:
   * `GPG_PRIVATE_KEY`: GPG private key exported as an ASCII armored version. Note that the value must start with `-----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----` and end with `-----END PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----`.
   * `GPG_PASSPHRASE`: Passphrase of the GPG private key.
   * `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME`: will be used to set a committer name.
   * `GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL`: will be used to set a committer email.
2. Enable **Broker Client Commit Signing** in the Broker settings.

## Troubleshooting commit signing

If commits are shown as `Unverified` in GitHub, you must do the following:

* Verify that the GPG public key is imported to the correct GitHub user and that the email address is the same in GitHub as in the environment variables.
* To ensure that the commit signing feature has been activated for the Broker Client in the Snyk Organization, check the logs and verify that the following message appears when the Broker Client starts up: ​​`loading commit signing rules (enabled=true, rulesCount=5)`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/snyk-broker/snyk-broker-commit-signing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
