## Post a Github proof message
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Log in to [github.com](https://github.com) and click on **New gist**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Name the file **openpgp.md** and copy the following content into it (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT and USERNAME):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
This is an OpenPGP proof that connects [my OpenPGP key](https://keyoxide.org/FINGERPRINT) to [this Github account](https://github.com/USERNAME). For details check out https://keyoxide.org/guides/openpgp-proofs

## 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 post copied above):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`proof@metacode.biz=https://gist.github.com/USERNAME/12345678912345678912345678912345`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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`
|
||
|
|
