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.
