Easy GPG

easygpg is a minimal CLI tool for managing GPG keys as Git commit signers.

Why?

The gpg CLI is an abomination. It's impossible for mere mortals to use. These days, most people just want to use it to configure Git signing, which is made difficult by its bloated, legacy API.

Installation

brew install cmoog/easygpg/easygpg

Usage

easygpg create
easygpg ls
easygpg export [keyid]
easygpg rm [keyid]

Example

easygpg create
Real name: Charlie Moog
Email address: moogcharlie@gmail.com

easygpg ls
