It would also be helpful to know what version of gpg you're using to commit. You can discover this by:

1. Running git config gpg.program within the repository you're unable to commit to. This will show the name of the gpg binary that git will use to sign commits. If it produces no output, this defaults to gpg.
2. Execute the binary from (1) with --version.

For what its worth, I just hit this as well. Atom does ask me for my password correctly, but then I receive the same error message as above.

I solved this by adding gpg.program to the .gitconfig file, as was mentioned above. To do so, run the following command. The path to gpg.exe may vary depending on your installation.

git config --global gpg.program "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe"

I had installed GnuPG from here using the Gpg4win binary. Make sure gpg is accessible in the path.
