"error: unsupported value for gpg.format: ssh fatal: bad config variable 'gpg.format' in file 'path to Git config file' at line 4" shows up

When using Exploratory, you may encounter the following error:

error: unsupported value for gpg.format: ssh fatal: bad config variable 'gpg.format' in file 'path to Git config file' at line 4

This error indicates that there is an invalid setting in the Git configuration file used by Exploratory for managing projects.

In particular, if you see gpg.format = ssh, open the .gitconfig file located at the path shown in the error message and either delete the line gpg.format = ssh or change it to a valid value (e.g., openpgp). After making the correction, restart Exploratory.

If the problem persists, please contact support.
