(body
(en "The new @command{guix git authenticate} command authenticates a
Git repository by verifying commit signatures and ensuring they all come from
authorized parties, exactly like @command{guix pull} now does.
This command is primarily useful to developers of channels. It allows them to
ensure, before pushing, that the channel only contains commits signed with
authorized keys. But this command is also useful anytime you use Git and want
to allow people to authenticate code fetched from your repository.
Run @command{info \"(guix) Invoking guix git authenticate\"} for more info,
and see @uref{https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/securing-updates/} for details on
these mechanisms.")))
