Sorry, got confused a bit and did not understand the question with all those pgp, gpg...
Try to limit the algorithms used by editing the gpg.conf file and leave only what you want SHA256, SHA 384, SHA512..
Or try "cert-digest-algo SHA256" or "--s2k-digest-algo SHA256" in the command line when generating the key.
Topic: Why can I only sign a GPG message with SHA1 hash (Read 224 times)
PGP stands for Pretty Good Security. It uses pub/priv keys and encrypts using SHA1. That's what it does. That's the protocol.
Here is a useful link, hope it helps: https://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/sha256.html

This is an interesting link but it has nothing to do with PGP. Counterintuitively, this is not in the manual or the usage text for gpg, but the option to force the digest algorithm to be used is called --personal-digest-preferences. So in my case I would need to use gpg -s -u 47FAE4A0 --clearsign --personal-digest-preferences sha256 in order to sign with SHA256. It's reasonably safe to assume that all GPG clients I care about support reading SHA256 signatures.
And it appears that SHA256 message digests for signing was made the default in version 2.1 https://gnupg.org/download/release_notes.html#sec-1-23

I can't find any option in gpg to select the SHA256 digest. SHA1 can be broken[1][2] and SHA256 is much more secure, so why is gpg selecting it by default for signatures?
Even the manpage suggests that there are hidden options ending with '-algo' that change the message digest algorithm but they don't seem to have any effect.
