GPG commit signing simple setup

GPG commit signing: a simple setup guide

Warning

This is an incomplete work-in-progress document

  1. Install GPG command line tool for Mac OS X using brew install gnupg or an equivalent. You can install all of GPG Suite, but you don't necessarily need more than the Homebrew package.
  2. Following the tutorial from Github, generate a 4096 bit RSA key (this is probably the default option); use your GDS email address
  3. For GDS users, if you used a non-GDS email address change the email on your key to GDS email
  4. Export the key in the terminal, using gpg --export -a <key_id>
  5. Copy the key (the whole thing, beginning with -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- and ending with -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----)

GCs and “legally protected beliefs”

It’s also worth remembering that, while “gender critical” people talk about how the Forstater judgement means their beliefs are “legally protected”, the actual text of the judgement is not that flattering to them:

A philosophical belief would only be excluded for failing to satisfy Grainger V if it was the kind of belief the expression of which would be akin to Nazism or totalitarianism and thereby liable to be excluded from the protection of rights under Articles 9 and 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) by virtue of [Article 17](https://en.wikipedia.
