   But signing tags should work with something like this:

       repo.create_tag(tagname, 
                       message=tag_txt,
                       sign=True, 
                       local_user=master_key)

   @ankostis Thanks, I will try. Can you please tell me from where you got this information. I cannot find this in the API reference at all. Also the local_user option is missing:

   I made it half working with this. But it still throws a lot of errors:

           self.repo.create_tag(self.config['tag'],
               message=self.config['message'],
               sign=True,
               local_user=self.config['fingerprint'])
   
           self.repo.create_tag(self.config['tag'],
               verify=True)

     File "/home/arch/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/git/repo/base.py", line 352, in create_tag
       return TagReference.create(self, path, ref, message, force, **kwargs)
     File "/home/arch/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/git/refs/tag.py", line 83, in create
       repo.git.tag(*args, **kwargs)
     File "/home/arch/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/git/cmd.py", line 425, in <lambda>
       return lambda *args, **kwargs: self._call_process(name, *args, **kwargs)
     File "/home/arch/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/git/cmd.py", line 877, in _call_process
       return self.execute(call, **exec_kwargs)
     File "/home/arch/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/git/cmd.py", line 688, in execute
       raise GitCommandError(command, status, stderr_value, stdout_value)
   git.exc.GitCommandError: Cmd('git') failed due to: exit code(1)
     cmdline: git tag --verify 1.4.0 HEAD

   Edit:
   Solution is:

           try:
               self.repo.create_tag(self.config['tag'],
                   verify=True,
                   ref=None)
               print('okay')
           except:
               print('not okay')

   @NicoHood Does this resolve your issue? If so, I would think closing the issue is the way to go.
   In another note, I would advise against using GitPython just because it has certain issues that are unlikely to ever be properly resolved.

   @Byron It is solved like that if one knows this information. A simple wrapper function to verify a tag would be appreciated. Then users dont need to find this issue via google and can use a more common way.
