GPG¶
Create a new gpg key¶
gpg --default-new-key-algo rsa4096 --gen-key
For me, it looked like:
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.4; Copyright (C) 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.
There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.
Note: Use "gpg --full-generate-key" for a full featured key generation dialog.
GnuPG needs to construct a user ID to identify your key.
Real name: Ahmad Nazir Raja
Email address: ahmadnazir@gmail.com
You selected this USER-ID:
"Ahmad Nazir Raja <ahmadnazir@gmail.com>"
Change (N)ame, (E)mail, or (O)kay/(Q)uit? O
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
gpg: key E28E7DA5BE1BAEBF marked as ultimately trusted
gpg: directory '~/.gnupg/openpgp-revocs.d' created
gpg: revocation certificate stored as '~/.gnupg/openpgp-revocs.d/1F7BFED782E9E540432E3F48E28E7DA5BE1BAEBF.rev'
public and secret key created and signed.
Note that this key cannot be used for encryption. You may want to use
the command "--edit-key" to generate a subkey for this purpose.

Export the one that is called fpr (no idea what that means):
gpg --export -a 1F7BFED782E9E540432E3F48E28E7DA5BE1BAEBF
