GT-GPG-KEY-VERIFY(1) gitea-cli Manual GT-GPG-KEY-VERIFY(1)

gt-gpg-key-verify - Verify a GPG key with a signed token

gt gpg-key verify <key-id> [<file>] [flags]

Verify a GPG key that Gitea holds as unverified, so that it is trusted for all of your activated email addresses, not only those it names. Sign the token that gt gpg-key token prints with the key, as an ASCII-armored detached signature, and pass the signature as a file or on stdin. The key is named by its GPG key ID, as gt gpg-key list shows it.
