Can you add to the article what happens if you don't sign?

GitHub doesn't block unsigned commits.

You just don't get the verified flag. Like the flag I get when committing in GitHub UI.

I'm guessing it doesn't impact most people. Maybe if you are contributing to a high profile repo and it is required by the maintainer. or you have people creating commits as your user (it does happen for people who are malicious or protesting but probably won't happen to you).

Well no because this is specifically about going back to a previous commit to sign and I mentioned that I have to sign my commits for work.
