## Install GPG and Keybase

brew install keybase brew install gpg


## Generate Key Pair in GPG

gpg --gen-key


## Add Secondary Email to your GPG Key

This is useful if you have a work email you also commit as.

gpg --edit-key my_email@some_site.com


In the GPG shell:

adduid


## Export Public Key

Give your public key to Github.

gpg --armor --export my_email@some_site.com


## Add GPG key to Keybase

This will copy your **public** key to Keybase.

keybase pgp select


## Export Private Key

I imported this into [1password](https://1password.com/features/). Skip this if you this is managed by keybase.

gpg --export-secret-key -a my_email@some_site.com > gpg-private.key


## Import Private Key into GPG

This is useful if you have multiple computers.

gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import gpg-private.key


## Signing GIT Commits

To obtain your key, run the following and look for
"sec:" which stands for "secret key".

You'll see it in the following format: `length/KEY creation_date`.

gpg --list-secret-keys


Then, add these lines to your `~/.gitconfig` changing MY_KEY to the key
that you determined in the last step.

[user] signingkey = MY_KEY [commit] gpgsign = true


Or use the command line

git config --global user.signingkey MY_KEY git config --global commit.gpgsign true
