# GPG Keys
GPG keys are a way to verify who you are online.  
They can be integrated with git and dev tools such as Jetbrain's IDE's

## Using Keys
### Command Line
This site is a good site for info.  https://gock.net/blog/2020/gpg-cheat-sheet

### GUI tools
I use Kleopatra as a GUI tool.  
It has Windows and Linux versions (including NixOS)

### Security
{Add section on keeping keys secure ehre, such as only using subkeys on devices}

## Open Governance Signing
{add stuff about open governance signing here}

## Troubleshooting
### Forgejo GPG verification failure
If you are trying to verify a gpg key on Forgejo and it keeps failing it may be because your key has more than one subkey.  
The solution is:  

01. Make a backup of your gpg key.  
02. Delete all but one subkey
    * This key must be a signing key
03. Run the command Forgejo gives ye
04. Restore the original key (if ye desire)
