Adding a new GPG key to your GitHub account
To configure your GitHub Enterprise account to use your new (or existing) GPG key, you'll also need to add it to your GitHub Enterprise account.
Before adding a new GPG key to your GitHub Enterprise account, you should have:
Supported GPG key algorithms
GitHub Enterprise supports several GPG key algorithms. If you try to add a key generated with an unsupported algorithm, you may encounter an error.
- RSA
- ElGamal
- DSA
- ECDH
- ECDSA
- EdDSA
When verifying a signature, we extract the signature and attempt to parse its key-id. We match the key-id with keys uploaded to GitHub Enterprise. Until you upload your GPG key to GitHub Enterprise, we cannot verify your signatures.
