If your git provider requires commit verification, unsigned or unverified commits might be rejected. You can configure commit verification requirements in your git provider. If your git provider doesn't enforce commit verification and doesn't support GPG keys, then you can commit but your commits will be marked unverified because there’s no GPG key available to verify them.

- **New:** With dbt Mesh, you can now enable bidirectional dependencies across your projects. Previously, dbt enforced dependencies to only go in one direction. dbt checks for cycles across projects and raises errors if any are detected. For details, refer to [Cycle detection](/docs/collaborate/govern/project-dependencies#cycle-detection). There's also the [Intro to dbt Mesh](/best-practices/how-we-mesh/mesh-1-intro) guide to help you learn more best practices.
