PgpHelp

You can utilize the open source GnuPG tool or Mac GNU Privacy Guard for Mac OSX to manage your PGP keys. The following commands may be helpful to you in regards to Zuul.

Creating a new Public/Private Key Pair

Use the following to generate a new key.

gpg --gen-key

They keyring is saved somewhere in your local user's home:

• Unix/Linux: ~/.gpg
• Windows: %APPDATA%\GnuPG

You can override the default locations by specifying the --homedir option

List you public keys

If you already have a keyring, you can list the meta-data about the secret keys with the list-keys option:

gpg --list-keys

You should see something similar to:

-----------------------------------------------
pub   1024D/B50F0B65 2012-10-10
uid                  Joe Blow <joe.blow@acme.com>
sub   2048g/52710B1E 2012-10-10

Export a public key in ASCII armored format

Zuul needs your public key in ASCII armored format. You can extract this with the export command if you know which key you'd like to extract (see the above command). For example:

gpg --export -a "Joe Blow"

Should result in something like:
