> better UX with PGP instead of SSH

This might be true of comparing GPG to SSH-via-PIV, but there's a better way with far superior UX: derive an SSH key from a FIDO2 slot on the YubiKey.

I do it with FIDO2. It's inconvenient when having multiple Yubikeys (I always end up adding the entry manually with ssh-agent), and I have to touch the Yubikey everytime it signs. That makes it very annoying when rebasing a few tens of commits, for instance.

With GPG it just works.

For what it's worth: You can set no-touch-required on a key (it's a generation-time option though).

Sure, but then it is set to no-touch for every FIDO2 interaction I have. I don't want to touch for signing, but I want to touch when using it as a passkey, for instance.

Use the PIV applet for SSH and signing Git commits instead? Git supports S/MIME and SSH can use keys over PKCS#11 basically out-of-box on OSs that don't ship gpg-agent (that just interferes with SmartCard usage in general).

This is a per-credential setting, so you can have your SSH signing key be a no-touch key and still use touch confirmation for everything else.

(see "uv" option here https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-ps-20190130/fido-cl... - the -sk key types in SSH are just a clever way of abusing the FIDO protocol to create a signing primitive)

Oh, I need to check this! Thanks!
