gpg failed to sign the data

Bug Report

What did you do?
ran the following command:

~/go/bin/operator-sdk new jicowan-operator

The operator-sdk didn't recognize the --api-version or --kind flags

2018/10/26 16:34:07 go type operator does not use --api-version or --kind. Please see "operator-sdk add" command after running new.

What did you expect to see?
I expected for the operator SDK to create the project.

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?

Run dep ensure done
Run git init ...
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/jicowan/go/src/github.com/jicowan-operator/.git/

It looks like the machine you are running this on does not have git configured correctly. Can you make commits on other git projects or do you get the same error? Part of the new command initializes a git repo in the project, and that's the step that's failing according to the error you posted.

Try running the operator-sdk new command with the --skip-git-init flag. That should fix the issue

[bvoss]

Same here with 0.0.7+git aka master.
"--skip-git-init" dose not solve the issue.
And https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk/blob/master/commands/operator-sdk/cmd/new.go#L253 suggests it has nothing to do with git, rather than a hard check for type go

The tag 0.0.7 dose not have this check and works fine for me.

@bvoss There were 2 different problems mentioned in the original post. The first was the --api-version and --kind checks. Those were removed as part of the changes that will be coming with the large restructuring in v0.1.0. Most of the documentation has already been updated to reflect these changes.

The --skip-git-init flag fix fixes the second issue brought up in the issue, which was a git/gpg failure.

@AlexNPavel Sorry my fault, I only saw the first issue and mixed them up.
But the getting started guide on master uses the 0.0.7 syntax of operator-sdk. May by you can add hint there to install the 0.0.7 version of the sdk. I think some interested newcomer will struggle with this.

[AlexNPavel]

@bvoss I believe everything in this repo is up to date with the changes. But yes, the getting started repo is out of date. I'll open an issue on the getting started repo to update that as well.

@AlexNPavel I made few changes to my Git configuration awhile back because I had to sign my changes with a gpg key. I've been able to push changes to Git so I didn't think it was the cause of the issue I was having. I'll revisit my configuration. Thanks.
