'Pre-commit does not allow GPG code-signing?
We sign each commit with GPG2 for security purposes. Usually this involves a full-terminal-window "popup" asking you to enter a password after running git commit (the terminal screen is replaced with just the GPG message). However we have started using python's pre-commit tool run linting prior to committing, and the "pop-up" isn't appearing. Here is the error I get:
$ git commit -m "fix linting issues"

Solution 1:[1]
I ran into this issue today. My configuration uses gpg-agent along with an Xorg-based pinentry application
Restoring the pre-pre-commit behavior required adding no-tty to the existing gpg-agent.conf after enabling pre-commit
It's not an issue or bug with pre-commit, but installing pre-commit into an otherwise functional gpgsign enabled repository can effectively "break" signing depending on your configuration
