Instructions for exporting/importing (backup/restore) GPG keys

Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.

Method 1

Backup the public and secret keyrings and trust database

cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

or, instead of backing up trustdb...

How to recover a git branch you accidentally deleted

UPDATE: A better way! (August 2015)

As pointed out by @johntyree in the comments, using git reflog is easier and more reliable. Thanks for the suggestion!

 $ git reflog
1ed7510 HEAD@{1}: checkout: moving from develop to 1ed7510
3970d09 HEAD@{2}: checkout: moving from b-fix-build to develop
1ed7510 HEAD@{3}: commit: got everything working the way I want
70b3696 HEAD@{4}: commit: upgrade rails, do some refactoring

yubikey OR private key ssh authentication on debian

the grand idea

I like public key auth. I feel safer using them instead of a username and password login. But, I might not have my private key with me at a time where I need access.

I started using yubikey with LastPass and since I have it always on my keychain, I decided to find more ways to make use of it.

I wasn't originally aware, but if you pass a private key to ssh and sshd is configured to accept a key, it appears pam isn't used. Your authorized keys are checked and you are logged in. If you don't pass a private key, ssh falls back to the more standard un*x style login found in /etc/pam.d/sshd. This is where we'll add the yubikey pam. I am currently unaware of a way to use both public key auth and yubikey for login.

These steps worked for me on debian squeeze/wheezy.

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

a simple git branching model

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

A Node.js script that generates an HTML file from your Firefox open tabs. Useful when Firefox crashes upon restoration.

  1. Copy the sessionstore.js file from your Firefox profile
  2. Run node ./extractsession.js > session-`date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M"`.html to generate an HTML file with a list links for every open tab

Thanks to @clochix for the initial script.
