Vigilant Mode

Flag unsigned commits as unverified
This will include any commit attributed to your account but not signed with your GPG or S/MIME key.
Note that this will include your existing unsigned commits.

Displaying verification statuses for all of your commits

You can enable vigilant mode for commit signature verification to mark all of your commits and tags with a signature verification status. https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/displaying-verification-statuses-for-all-of-your-commits

Verified

The commit is signed, the signature was successfully verified, and the committer is the only author who has enabled vigilant mode.

Partially Verified

The commit is signed, and the signature was successfully verified, but the commit has an author who:

• a) is not the committer and
• b) has enabled vigilant mode.

In this case, the commit signature doesn't guarantee the consent of the author, so the commit is only partially verified.

Unverified

Any of the following is true:

• The commit is signed but the signature could not be verified.
• The commit is not signed and the committer has enabled vigilant mode.
• The commit is not signed and an author has enabled vigilant mode.
