Adding a Gitea proof

Let's add a decentralized Gitea proof to your OpenPGP keys. This will also work on self-hosted instances.

Post a Gitea proof message

Log in to a gitea instance like codeberg.org and click on Create new repository.

Set the repository name to gitea_proof.

Set the project description to (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):

[Verifying my OpenPGP key: openpgp4fpr:FINGERPRINT]

Optional: edit the README.md to this:

This is an OpenPGP proof that connects my OpenPGP key to this Gitea account. For details check out https://keyoxide.org/guides/openpgp-proofs

After creating the project, copy the link to the project.

Update the PGP key

First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):

gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT

Add a new notation:

notation

Enter the notation (make sure to update with the link to the project copied above):

proof@metacode.biz=https://gitea.example.com/USERNAME/gitea_proof

Save the key:

save

Upload the key to WKD or use the following command to upload the key to keys.openpgp.org (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):

And you're done! Reload your profile page, it should now show a verified Gitea account.
