                Steps to enable GPG signing of git commits. 
              
          
    If anyone is interested in setting up their system to automatically (or manually) sign their git commits with their GPG key, here are the steps:

Generate and add your key to GitHub
$ git config --global commit.gpgsign true ([OPTIONAL] every commit will now be signed)
$ git config --global user.signingkey ABCDEF01 (where ABCDEF01 is the fingerprint of the key to use)
$ git config --global alias.logs "log --show-signature" (now available as $ git logs)
$ git config --global alias.cis "commit -S" (optional if global signing is false)
$ echo "Some content" >> example.txt
$ git add example.txt
$ git cis -m "This commit is signed by a GPG key." (regular commit will work if global signing is enabled)

                How to use authentication subkeys in gpg for SSH public key authentication
              
          
    GPG subkeys marked with the "authenticate" capability can be used for public
key authentication with SSH.  This is done using gpg-agent which, using the
--enable-ssh-support option, can implement the agent protocol used by SSH.
Requirements

A working gpg2 setup is required.  It may be possible to use gpg 1.4 but with
gpg-agent compiled from gpg2.  If you are using OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) then you
may find the instructions [here][1] useful.

                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...
