I can't make it work as it complains about the format of the signing key. Can you please share your setup? Thanks!

Sorry, I had missed this.
The format is
[gpg]
format = ssh
[user]
signingKey = key::SSH-PUBKEY
In my case, since I have an ssh-ed25519 key, it is [user]
signingKey = key::ssh-ed25519 AAAAC…
You can pretty much copy the `.pub` key and paste it after `key::` (instructions like the ones at https://calebhearth.com/sign-git-with-ssh will show this without the `key::` prefix; according to the latest git documentation, the non-prefixed SSH key format is not preferred, as the `signingKey` value can be either a raw SSH public key, a GPG key ID, or a path to the signing key).One thing of note that I haven’t checked to see if it matters. I have the matching `.pub` key in `~/.ssh`, but I don’t think that is making a difference.
I do remember having some struggles getting it sorted out at the very beginning, but I didn’t take very good notes of what different things I tried.
