git commit - gpg failed to sign the data, but works from console

I know there are a lot of similar questions, but basically, git commit gives me

error: gpg failed to sign the data
fatal: failed to write commit object

However, thanks to this answer, I can sign commit by signing a random file via gpg in the command line first. This works, but it is pretty annoying. Why do I have to do that ?

I'm using Manjaro KDE.

Solution

  • Thanks to Alvin Tang for giving me the solution that was so simple!

    I just had to add these two line:

    GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY

    at the bottom of the file located at ~/.bashrc.
