+## Troubleshooting
+
+You may encounter an error from the following command because of the `-S` flag:
+```shell
+git commit -S -m "<commit message>" 
+```
+To resolve this error, remove the `-S` from the command in the `git-commit-push-script.sh` file:
+```shell
+git commit -m "<commit message>"
+```
+If you want to use the -S flag, configure your Git configuration to use the GPG key for signing commits.
+Use the guide here: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/telling-git-about-your-signing-key
