.SH NAME
gt-gpg-key-create - Add a GPG public key from a file or stdin


.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBgt gpg-key create [<file>] [flags]\fP


.SH DESCRIPTION
Add an ASCII-armored GPG public key to your account. Without a file, or with -, the key is read
from stdin. Export it with gpg --armor --export KEYID.

.PP
Gitea refuses a key that names no activated email address of your account, unless --signature-file
gives a signature of what gt gpg-key token prints. It then stores the key as verified.
