shortTitle: Add a new GPG key
|
|
---
|
|
Before adding a new GPG key to your account on {% ifversion ghae %}{% data variables.product.product_name %}{% else %}{% data variables.product.product_location %}{% endif %}, you should have:
|
|
- [Checked for existing GPG keys](/articles/checking-for-existing-gpg-keys)
|
|
- [Generated and copied a new GPG key](/articles/generating-a-new-gpg-key)
|
|
|
|
You can add multiple public keys to your GitHub account. Commits signed by any of the corresponding private keys will show as verified. If you remove a public key, any commits signed by the corresponding private key will no longer show as verified.
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.gpg.supported-gpg-key-algorithms %}
|
|
|
|
When verifying a signature, we extract the signature and attempt to parse its key-id. We match the key-id with keys uploaded to {% data variables.product.product_name %}. Until you upload your GPG key to {% data variables.product.product_name %}, we cannot verify your signatures.
|
|
|
|
## Adding a GPG key
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.user-settings.access_settings %}
|
|
{% data reusables.user-settings.ssh %}
|
|
3. Click **New GPG key**.
|
|
|
|
4. In the "Key" field, paste the GPG key you copied when you [generated your GPG key](/articles/generating-a-new-gpg-key).
|
|
|
|
5. Click **Add GPG key**.
|
|
|
|
6. To confirm the action, enter your {% data variables.product.product_name %} password.
