vscode git signing & gpg tty pinentry

README.md

A workaround for people who prefer entering password in tty when possible (e.g. using pinentry-mode loopback) but don't want to break vscode commit signing:

1. Create a ~/.local/bin/my-pinentry.sh:

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$PINENTRY_USER_DATA" = "tty" ]; then
    exec /usr/bin/pinentry-tty "$@"
else
    exec /usr/bin/pinentry "$@"
fi

2. chmod +x ~/.local/bin/my-pinentry.sh
3. Ensure the following line exist in your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:

pinentry-program /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/bin/my-pinentry.sh

4. Put export PINENTRY_USER_DATA=tty in your .zshrc or .bashrc (or others depends on your shell)
