About

GitHub Action to easily import a GPG key.

If you are interested, check out my other :octocat: GitHub Actions!

Import GPG


Features

  • Works on Linux, macOS and Windows virtual environments
  • 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

Prerequisites

First, generate a GPG key and export the GPG private key as an ASCII armored version to your clipboard:

# 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 named GPG_PRIVATE_KEY for example. Create another secret with the PASSPHRASE if applicable.

Usage

Workflow

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
        id: import_gpg
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v4
        with:
          gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
          passphrase: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}
      -
        name: GPG user IDs
        run: |
          echo "fingerprint: ${{ steps.import_gpg.outputs.fingerprint }}"
          echo "keyid:       ${{ steps.import_gpg.outputs.keyid }}"
          echo "name:        ${{ steps.import_gpg.outputs.name }}"
          echo "email:       ${{ steps.import_gpg.outputs.email }}"          

Sign commits

name: import-gpg

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:

      -
        name: Import GPG key
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v4
        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 .
