# Adding a GitLab proof
Let's add a decentralized GitLab proof to your OpenPGP keys. This will also work on self-hosted instances.
[[toc]]
## Post a GitLab proof message
Log in to [gitlab.com](https://gitlab.com) or any other GitLab instance (your profile must be "public", not "private") and click on **New project**.
Set the project name to a name of your choosing.
Set the project slug to **gitlab_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 GitLab 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
```
Get a list of user IDs and find the index of the one to assign the notation to:
```
list
```
Select the desired user ID (make sure to replace N):
```
uid N
```
Add a new notation:
```
notation
```
Enter the notation (make sure to update with the link to the project copied above):
```
proof@metacode.biz=https://gitlab.example.com/USERNAME/gitlab_proof
```
Save the key:
```
save
```
Upload the key to WKD or use the following command to upload the key to [keys.openpgp.org](https://keys.openpgp.org) (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --send-keys FINGERPRINT
```
And you're done! Reload your profile page, it should now show a verified GitLab account.
