I agree that we should default to the global git config if there is one. Should be easy to detect.

However if there is none, I'm not sure if we can select the "first" sub id. Afaik they are unordered, or aren't they?

[christian-heusel]

Well in all the searches they appear sorted by the date of creation, but I think you are right that there is no "real" order ... :smiley:

[dominikschulz]

The golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp package provides a map[string]*Identity which is unordered. The on-disk keyring is probably stored in order of creation, but this isn't available through this interface.

[christian-heusel]

But wouldnt it make sense to ask the user which one he wants to use if multiple identities are provided? :) Or just default to the global git config as you suggested Thanks for all the input tho :+1:

[dominikschulz]

Using the global git config if it exists is definitely something we should do. Also we may ask the user to select an identity. If someone wants to do it, go ahead.

I wouldn't mind looking into this.

Hey @dominikschulz, I just want to say thank you! ❤️ I really really appreciate that you took the time to make this work and the countless hours of work you put into gopass in general! 😃

[dominikschulz]

Thanks a lot. Our users feedback is very important to me. So any kind of feedback absolutely helps to drive this project forward.

Please give the feature a try once you get a chance to and report back if anything doesn't work as expected.
