## 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
* Signing-only subkeys support
* 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
## Prerequisites
First, [generate a GPG key](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/generating-a-new-gpg-key) and
export the GPG private key as an ASCII armored version to your clipboard:
```shell
# macOS
gpg --armor --export-secret-key joe@foo.bar | pbcopy
# Ubuntu (assuming GNU base64)
gpg --armor --export-secret-key joe@foo.bar -w0 | xclip
# Arch
gpg --armor --export-secret-key joe@foo.bar | xclip -selection clipboard -i
# FreeBSD (assuming BSD base64)
gpg --armor --export-secret-key joe@foo.bar | xclip
```
Paste your clipboard 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.
## Usage
### Workflow
```yaml
name: import-gpg
on:
push:
branches: master
jobs:
import-gpg:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v3
-
name: Import GPG key
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v5
with:
gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
passphrase: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}
-
name: List keys
run: gpg -K
```
### Sign commits
```yaml
name: import-gpg
on:
push:
branches: master
jobs:
sign-commit:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v3
-
name: Import GPG key
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v5
with:
gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
passphrase: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}
git_user_signingkey: true
git_commit_gpgsign: true
-
name: Sign commit and push changes
run: |
echo foo > bar.txt
git add .
git commit -S -m "This commit is signed!"
git push
```
### Use a subkey
With the input `fingerprint`, you can specify which one of the subkeys in a GPG key you want to use for signing.
```yaml
name: import-gpg
on:
push:
branches: master
jobs:
import-gpg:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v3
-
name: Import GPG key
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v5
with:
gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
passphrase: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}
fingerprint: "C17D11ADF199F12A30A0910F1F80449BE0B08CB8"
-
name: List keys
run: gpg -K
```
For example, given this GPG key with a signing subkey:
```s
pub ed25519 2021-09-24 [C]
87F257B89CE462100BEC0FFE6071D218380FDCC8
Keygrip = F5C3ABFAAB36B427FD98C4EDD0387E08EA1E8092
uid [ unknown] Joe Bar <joe@bar.foo>
sub ed25519 2021-09-24 [S]
C17D11ADF199F12A30A0910F1F80449BE0B08CB8
Keygrip = DEE0FC98F441519CA5DE5D79773CB29009695FEB
```
You can use the subkey with signing capability whose fingerprint is `C17D11ADF199F12A30A0910F1F80449BE0B08CB8`.
### Set key's trust level
With the `trust_level` input, you can specify the trust level of the GPG key.
Valid values are:
* `1`: unknown
* `2`: never
* `3`: marginal
* `4`: full
* `5`: ultimate
```yaml
name: import-gpg
on:
push:
branches: master
jobs:
import-gpg:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v3
-
name: Import GPG key
uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v5
with:
gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
passphrase: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}
trust_level: 5
```
