The same ^M is shown in the output of tutorial
https://www.geekality.net/2017/08/23/setting-up-gpg-signing-for-gitgithub-on-windows/
at item "4. Verify commit was signed"
I confirm the output is right (no ^M characters) with commands
git verify-commit HEAD
git -p verify-commit HEAD
git verify-commit --v HEAD
git verify-commit --raw HEAD
and wrong (ending with ^M characters) with
git log --show-signature -1 HEAD
git -p log --show-signature -1 HEAD
I need gpg version 2.1 or greater to generate a gpg key for my windows
system, as stated by the github documentation:
https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-gpg-key/
that saves my keys in ~/AppData/Roaming/GnuPG.
