## Features

* Works on Linux, macOS and Windows [virtual environments](https://help.github.com/en/articles/virtual-environments-for-github-actions#supported-virtual-environments-and-hardware-resources)
* Allow seeding the internal cache of `gpg-agent` with provided passphrase
* Signing-only subkeys support
* Purge imported GPG key, cache information and kill agent from runner
* (Git) Enable signing for Git commits, tags and pushes
* (Git) Configure and check committer info against GPG key

## Prerequisites

First, [generate a GPG key](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/generating-a-new-gpg-key) and
export the GPG private key as an ASCII armored version to your clipboard:

```shell
# macOS
gpg --armor --export-secret-key joe@foo.bar | pbcopy

# Ubuntu (assuming GNU base64)
gpg --armor --export-secret-key joe@foo.bar -w0 | xclip

# Arch
gpg --armor --export-secret-key joe@foo.bar | xclip -selection clipboard -i

# FreeBSD (assuming BSD base64)
gpg --armor --export-secret-key joe@foo.bar | xclip
```

Paste your clipboard as a [`secret`](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/creating-and-storing-encrypted-secrets)
named `GPG_PRIVATE_KEY` for example. Create another secret with the
`PASSPHRASE` if applicable.

## Usage

### Workflow

```yaml
name: import-gpg

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:
  import-gpg:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      -
        name: Import GPG key
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v6
        with:
          gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
          passphrase: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}
      -
        name: List keys
        run: gpg -K
```

### Sign commits

```yaml
name: import-gpg

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:
  sign-commit:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      -
        name: Import GPG key
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v6
        with:
          gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
          passphrase: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}
          git_user_signingkey: true
          git_commit_gpgsign: true
      -
        name: Sign commit and push changes
        run: |
          echo foo > bar.txt
          git add .
          git commit -S -m "This commit is signed!"
          git push
```

### Use a subkey

With the input `fingerprint`, you can specify which one of the subkeys in a GPG
key you want to use for signing.

```yaml
name: import-gpg

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:
  import-gpg:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      -
        name: Import GPG key
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v6
        with:
          gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
          passphrase: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}
          fingerprint: "C17D11ADF199F12A30A0910F1F80449BE0B08CB8"
      -
        name: List keys
        run: gpg -K
```

For example, given this GPG key with a signing subkey:

```
pub   ed25519 2021-09-24 [C]
      87F257B89CE462100BEC0FFE6071D218380FDCC8
      Keygrip = F5C3ABFAAB36B427FD98C4EDD0387E08EA1E8092
uid           [ unknown] Joe Bar <joe@bar.foo>
sub   ed25519 2021-09-24 [S]
      C17D11ADF199F12A30A0910F1F80449BE0B08CB8
      Keygrip = DEE0FC98F441519CA5DE5D79773CB29009695FEB
```

You can use the subkey with signing capability whose fingerprint is `C17D11ADF199F12A30A0910F1F80449BE0B08CB8`.

### Set key's trust level

With the `trust_level` input, you can specify the trust level of the GPG key.

Valid values are:
* `1`: unknown
* `2`: never
* `3`: marginal
* `4`: full
* `5`: ultimate

```yaml
name: import-gpg

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:
  import-gpg:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      -
        name: Import GPG key
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v6
        with:
          gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
          passphrase: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}
          trust_level: 5
```
