Configuring GPG Key

- Then run this command but replace

gpg --output secret.key --export-secret-keys 3AA5C34371567BD2
- Then run this command for Revocation Certificate but replace
3AA5C34371567BD2with your GPG Key ID:
gpg --output revoke.asc --gen-revoke 3AA5C34371567BD2
- Then export your public key with this command but replace
3AA5C34371567BD2with your GPG Key ID :
gpg --armor --export 3AA5C34371567BD2 > 3AA5C34371567BD2.asc
-
publish to PGP Global Directory , 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.

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!...
