Making a GPG Key

1. Check for already existing GPG

   gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG
   
   

2. Generate a key(_If not exist in #1 _)

   gpg --gen-key
   

   Default Selections are RSA 4096. Enter for unlimited validity or, be paranoid. Enter Real Name, Email, Comment to set the hash.

3. Check the list to see if key exists now

   gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG
   
   

4. If exists, use the KeyID such as 3EC4B8420416E86B like this, to get the GPG Key

   gpg --armor --export 3EC4B8420416E86B
   

5. Paste the GPG key in your Github account settings

6. Tell Git about the GPG key you’re going to use

   git config --global user.signingkey 3EC4B8420416E86B
