I find it really difficult to understand the thinking here. Nostr privkeys are both nostr keys and git keys. But the argument I want to use them only as nostr keys, rather than use them both nostr keys and git keys, I cannot see as a technical argument. I just cant see it. It's like having the number "2" and saying, we can use that to add, but not to multiply. It's a thought process that I find alien, and see no way past it.

I'm not suggesting that support shouldnt be added to git for signing commits with nostr keys. It just seems there is a lower value proposition on focusing on that right now compared to the other #GitViaNostr tasks

There is no such thing as a "git key", there are only ssh keys you use to authenticate to a git server.

I'm guessing Melvin is using this term as pgp keya can do some actions as well as ssh keys eg, sign commits and tags.
