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...

# 1. Install nautilus-actions and create a new action
# 2. Under "Command" tab: "Path" -> "create-launcher.sh" and "Parameters" -> "%f"
# 3. Copy create-launcher.sh to somewhere in $PATH and make executable
# For some reason the desktop gets sent to nautilus actions as "/", so just make launcher go to desktop

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

remap prefix to Control + a
