Git commit GPG error

I recently started running into an issue when trying to push commits to git. The error was as follows.

error: cannot run gpg: No such file or directory
error: could not run gpg.
fatal: failed to write commit object

error: cannot run gpg: No such file or directory

error: could not run gpg.

fatal: failed to write commit object

It seems as though a recent update messaged up my whole Git/GPG setup.
After a little bit of research, I was able to resolve this with the following command.

git config --global gpg.program $(which gpg)

1	git config --global gpg.program $(which gpg)

Clean up the “Open With” menu on OS X

I have what I guess may be a bad habit of installing all the new software I come across, tinkering with it and then removing it. Unfortunately there are a lot of times doing this can clog up your “Open With” menu on OS X. I have noticed even using some nightly builds of software will really clutter it up.

When that starts to happen you can use the following snippet to clear all the dupes, as well as restart finder.

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain user;killall Finder;echo "Open With has been rebuilt, Finder will relaunch"
