In GIT Bash, execute the following commands (the username and email must match what was used in github): Select a trust level (Since I made the key I went with 5 or ultimate, use caution when trusting others keys) $ gpg -list-secret-keys -keyid-format LONG Use the -with-subkey-fingerprint option instead. Edit: on Ubuntu 18.04 (gpg 2.2.4) the fingerprint isn't show with the above command.
gpg -show-keys -with-fingerprintList the public keys in your keyring: You can now view a list of public keys in your keyring, as well as the name and email address associated with each key. Once that is complete you should be able to see the keys by running (we want the long format for later use): To verify and list the fingerprint of the key (without importing it into the keyring first), type. When you import a public key, you are placing it into what is commonly referred to as your GPG keyring. You should be prompted for your passphrase for the key. GPG is a collection of tools that allow signing and encrypting of data using asymmetric cryptography (with public / private keys). Remember to wrap the private key argument in quotes if your path has a space in it. Generate a new keypair: gpg -full-generate-key Export the keypair to a file (use the same email address that you used for generating the key pair). e.g., git config -global user.email '' (global setting) Download GPG suite, which will enable adding key(s) to the macOS keychain. Don’t forget to add said email(s) to your. Make sure to verify the email addresses associated with your GPG key.

Once GPG is installed, you can pull in your private key that you previously had: But why GPG signature verification A few gotchas. This gives you a *nix based shell, this software is a bundle with latest version of Git which use MINGW environment, a Git bash shell, a Git GUI and an extension for Windows Explorer shell (Make sure your local version of Git is at least 2.0, otherwise Git don’t have support for automatically sign your commits) You do not need anything besides the base GPG tools, none of the service stuff.

Click the name of the key ring that contains your import job. Setting up a new computer this week ran me smack into a wall of not remembering how I got my GIT + GPG signing key working the 1 time I managed to get it working previously. gpg -with-fingerprint -list-secret-key Check key fingerprints before importing.
