When I run `git commit -m` on nixos, I receive this error:

```

error: gpg failed to sign the data:
[GNUPG:] KEY_CONSIDERED C0156FFBE02B4E03F7792EB53D7F617CDE5C9A9B 2
[GNUPG:] BEGIN_SIGNING H10
gpg: signing failed: Bad secret key
[GNUPG:] FAILURE sign 67108871
gpg: signing failed: Bad secret key

fatal: failed to write commit object

```

Here's my git config:

```
[user]
	email =leocoogan@existential.beauty
	name = Leo Coogan
	signingkey = C0156FFBE02B4E03F7792EB53D7F617CDE5C9A9B
	#signingkey = 3D7F617CDE5C9A9B

[commit]
	gpgsign = true

```

And here's `gpg -k`:
```

```

The same error happens when I write to a file with `pass`:
```

An entry already exists for test. Overwrite it? [y/N] y

gpg: signing failed: Bad secret key
[GNUPG:] FAILURE sign 67108871
gpg: signing failed: Bad secret key

fatal: failed to write commit object
```

Really not sure what I'm supposed to do. I looked up the error, but I didn't find any \
sources that had this exact error, 'bad secret key'.

This only happens on my nixos machine. My other machine I run fedora on has never had \
signing errors.

Any help, advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've had this issue \
for several months, but I've put it off.
