2. GPG Migration

Move old GPG to new machine

• Backup from old machine far before I need it, reference: https://gist.github.com/Killeroid/6361944d0694e474fb94cc42a3b119d1

gpg -a --export > mypubkeys.asc
gpg -a --export-secret-keys > myprivatekeys.asc
gpg --export-ownertrust > otrust.txt

• Copy the exported files to new machine, and run command

gpg --import mypubkeys.asc
gpg --import myprivatekeys.asc
gpg --import-ownertrust otrust.txt

3. .gitconfig

• Main git config:

[credential]
	useHttpPath = true
#windows start
[credential "helperselector"]
	selected = manager-core
#windows end
[user]
	name = MY_NAME
	email = MY_EMAIL
	signingkey = MY_GPG_ID
[init]
	defaultBranch = main
[commit]
	gpgsign = true

#windows start
[includeIf "gitdir/i:C:/Users/MYUSERNAME/MYCOMPANYNAME/"]
	path = C:/Users/MYUSERNAME/MYCOMPANYNAME/.gitconfig
#windows end
