About

I needed a fast way to add gpg keys to repos on my machine for different email addresses, this small tool solves that for me

Steps

1. Run gpg-gen copy, paste and run cmd on about section to generate a key, pick default opts

2. Run gpg-gen keys

3. To pick a key for step

Example:

sec   4096R/3AA5C34371567BD2 2016-03-10 [expires: 2017-03-10]
uid                          Hubot <hubot@example.com>
ssb   4096R/4BB6D45482678BE3 2016-03-10

• Key id would be: 3AA5C34371567BD2
• Email would be: hubot@example.com
• Run gpg-gen add --key <key-id> --email <email>

4. Run gpg-gen github --key <key-id> add the generated token to your github profile GPG Keys, make sure the same email address used with the key is also linked to your github account

Install

1. Copy repo to local
2. Run go build && go install now gpg-gen is part of your ./bin/go path
