I ran into an issue where my pinentry was unable to connect, blocking me from doing commits. You can use this to continue signing commits.

export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye

printf test | gpg \
  --local-user 9A47900E81415D65C32C630066E2BF2B4190EFE4 \
  --pinentry-mode loopback \
  --sign >/dev/null
