    The cause:

    The first reason is the expiry of your GPG.

    Another one is not to set the secret key correctly.

    Solution:

    With the 1st reason, of course, you must extend the date of using the GPG.

    With the 2nd one, the message said gpg: signing failed: No secret key in below situation because the key which was set isn’t looking for.  

    
    |                                                              paolocarrasco$ gpg --status-fd-2 -bsau 3AA5C34371567BD2
    
    gpg: skipped "3AA5C34371567BD2": No secret key
    [GNUPG:] INV_SGNR 9 3AA5C34371567BD2
    [GNUPG:] FAILURE sign 17
    gpg: signing failed: No secret key

    Then, you have to install the GPG key in Git again:

    1. Enumerate the secret keys existing in the GPG.
    gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long

    2. Copy the key.

    3. Put your key in git for your user.

    git config --global user.signingkey <your key>

    That is all and I hope it will help you. Good luck!!!
