A C implementation of GitKeyKit, originally created in TypeScript. This port brings the same simplified PGP key management for Git commit signing to C, making it more portable and dependency-free.
GitKeyKit is a lightweight command-line tool that simplifies PGP key management for Git commit signing. It automates the process of creating, importing, and configuring GPG keys for Git commit verification.
- Create PGP Keys: Automatically generate new PGP keys using your Git user information
- Import Existing Keys: Import your existing PGP keys seamlessly
- Git Configuration: Automatically configure Git to use your PGP key for commit signing
- Cross-Platform: Works on both Windows and Unix-based systems
- Easy Reset: Quick command to reset all GPG-related Git configurations
Before using GitKeyKit, ensure you have:
- Git installed and configured with user.name and user.email
- GPG (GnuPG) installed
- Windows: Install Gpg4win
- macOS:
brew install gnupg - Linux:
sudo apt-get install gnupg(Ubuntu/Debian) or equivalent
cd gitkeykit
sudo make installgitkeykitgitkeykit import <key_path>gitkeykit --resetmake allThis will:
- Compile the source files from
src/,src/commands/, andsrc/utils/directories - Link object files and create the executable in
bin/directory - Create necessary directories (
build/andbin/) if they don't exist - Generate the executable
gitkeykit(orgitkeykit.exeon Windows)
make cleanThis removes the build/ and bin/ directories along with all generated files.
