Moving GPG keys to new machine

Moving_gpg_keys.txt

Mac and Linux work the same, storing the keys in ~/.gnupg. The safest way to transfer the files is using scp (part of ssh):

To copy from your local machine to another:
scp -rp ~/.gnupg othermachine:

To copy from a remote machine to your local:
scp -r othermachine:~/.gnupg ~

If you're on the machine that already has the key:

gpg --export-secret-key SOMEKEYID | ssh othermachine gpg --import

If you're on the machine that needs the key:

ssh othermachine gpg --export-secret-key SOMEKEYID | gpg --import
