Import Keybase PGP to GPG

After installing the keybase command-line tool onto a new / fresh computer, you may want to import your PGP key to the local keyring so that you may use the keys with GPG.

Import your PUBLIC PGP key:

keybase pgp export|gpg --import -

For your SECRET PGP key, you have to be more assertive:

keybase pgp export -s|gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import -

You will then want to trust the keys as your own, so that GPG can be "sure" they're safe to use

gpg --edit-key [email protected]
trust
5
y
save

Seems to be a typo: gpg --edit-key [email protected]. However great material I always struggle to remember the Keybase dead simple syntax. 🙉

Thanks,

Thank you for the exceptionally straightforward guide.

I needed to add export GPG_TTY=$(tty) to avoid error Inappropriate ioctl for device
