# A Guide for Hackers who want to become a committer ![Free Software](img/freesoftware1024x768.png) This repository includes the path to become a committer with any kind of git oriented workflow to push commits to any kind of forge. # Setting SSH Keys Please read : * https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent * https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account # Configuring GPG Key * https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/generating-a-new-gpg-key * After generating GPG Key please run : ``` gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long ``` * Then run this command but replace ```3AA5C34371567BD2``` with your GPG Key ID: ``` gpg --output secret.key --export-secret-keys 3AA5C34371567BD2 ``` * Then run this command for Revocation Certificate but replace ```3AA5C34371567BD2``` with your GPG Key ID: ``` gpg --output revoke.asc --gen-revoke 3AA5C34371567BD2 ``` * Then export your public key with this command but replace ```3AA5C34371567BD2``` with your GPG Key ID : ``` gpg --armor --export 3AA5C34371567BD2 > 3AA5C34371567BD2.asc ``` * publish to [PGP Global Directory](https://keyserver.pgp.com/vkd/GetWelcomeScreen.event) , import key , trust and sign with Thunderbird Email Client or any other client * After this backup your secret.key and revoke.asc to an external disk and keep it safe. * Then open your public key with a text editor and copy all text and add your Public Key to GitHub like told here : https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/adding-a-gpg-key-to-your-github-account # For signing Commits with your GPG Key Please read this : * https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/signing-commits * https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/telling-git-about-your-signing-key # Conclusion * We have generated SSH Key and added our public SSH Key to our GitHub account. * We have generated GPG Key, exported secret key, exported revocation certificate, published our public key to a server in this example PGP Global Directory and then we moved our secret.key and revoke.asc to an external disk. Then we added our GPG key to GitHub account. * For signing commit we configured our git account. **happy hacking!...** # Where we store this documentation * https://codeberg.org/hwpplayer1/hacker-how-to * https://git.disroot.org/hwpplayer1/hacker-how-to * https://git.vern.cc/hwpplayer1/hacker-how-to * https://git.sr.ht/~mertgor/hacker-how-to * https://gitlab.com/masscollabs/masscollaborationlabs/hacker-how-to * https://github.com/hwpplayer1/hacker-how-to * https://git.truvalinux.org.tr/hwpplayer1/hacker-how-to # License [CC BY-SA 4.0 or any later](by-sa.markdown)
