## What it is
A step-by-step tutorial for creating a GPG key via keybase.io, importing it into a local GPG setup, and configuring Git to sign commits verified on GitHub. It is a documentation/guide repository rather than software.

## Use cases
- sign my git commits with gpg
- set up keybase gpg key for github
- verify commits on github with gpg
- export keybase pgp key to local gpg
- configure git to sign all commits automatically
- add gpg public key to github settings

## When to choose
- you want a proven walkthrough for Keybase-based GPG key generation and Git commit signing
- you need to move a Keybase PGP key between hosts and use it with Git/GitHub

## When to avoid
- you don't use Keybase.io and prefer GitHub's native GPG key generation flow
- you need maintained software or tooling rather than a written guide
