Hey Ligi! Thanks for reporting

It seems like the issue is related to your git setup.

Could you try doing the usual git workflow in a test folder? git init, git add -A, git commit -m "test" and see if it works?

[ligi]

yes - this works perfectly - I use git every day
But I used signed commits - guess this is the complication that breaks things here?

https://github.com/scaffold-eth/create-eth/blob/main/src/tasks/create-first-git-commit.ts

These are the commands being executed. Could you try these CDing into thechallenge-0-simple-nft folder?

[ligi]

when I executing the commit on the CLI it works fine. It asks my gpg password in the process - guess this is what fails here.

[ligi]

I can workaround it by doing:

[commit]
        gpgsign = false

in my gitconfig.

But it feels a bit bad. Maybe a git config --local commit.gpgsign false in create-first-git-commit.ts could remove this stone and not having much damage in the process?
