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...

	apply from: rootProject.file('read_secrets.gradle')

	apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
	....

	android {
	defaultConfig {
	buildConfigField 'String', 'SOMETHING_SECRET', getEnvVariable('SOMETHING_SECRET')
	}
	signingConfigs {

	public class AccountAuthenticator extends AbstractAccountAuthenticator {

	private final Context context;
	@Inject @ClientId String clientId;
	@Inject @ClientSecret String clientSecret;
	@Inject ApiService apiService;

	public AccountAuthenticator(Context context) {
	super(context);
