Hi,
I got errors and warnings when I used "git tag -s my-tag". It says, "secret key not available". "unable to sign the tag".

gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information gpg: skipped `Gary Yang <gyang@linux123.(none)>': secret key not available gpg: signing failed: secret key not available error: gpg failed to sign the tag fatal: unable to sign the tag

I ran "gpg --gen-key" and generated keypair. But, still got the same error. Please help.
Thank,
Gary
