## About

GitHub Action to easily import a GPG key.

If you are interested, [check out](https://git.io/Je09Y) my other :octocat: GitHub Actions!

![Import GPG key](.res/ghaction-import-gpg.png)

## Features

* Works on Linux, MacOS and Windows [virtual environments](https://help.github.com/en/articles/virtual-environments-for-github-actions#supported-virtual-environments-and-hardware-resources)
* Allow to seed the internal cache of `gpg-agent` with provided passphrase
* Purge imported GPG key, cache information and kill agent from runner
* (Git) Enable signing for Git commits, tags and pushes
* (Git) Configure and check committer info against GPG key

## Usage

First, export the GPG private key as an ASCII armored version:

```shell
gpg --armor --export-secret-key --output key.pgp joe@foo.bar
```

Copy the content of `key.pgp` file as a [`secret`](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/creating-and-storing-encrypted-secrets) named `GPG_PRIVATE_KEY` for example. Create another secret with the `PASSPHRASE` if applicable.

```yaml
name: import-gpg

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:
  import-gpg:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      -
        name: Import GPG key
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v1
        with:
          git_user_signingkey: true
          git_commit_gpgsign: true
          git_tag_gpgsign: true
        env:
          GPG_PRIVATE_KEY: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
          PASSPHRASE: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}
      -
        name: Sign commit and push changes
        run: |
          echo foo > bar.txt
          git add .
          git commit -S -m "This commit is signed!"
          git push
```
