HPR4485: Git for Github and Gitlab
Update: 2025-10-10
Description
Hello, this is your host, Archer72 for Hacker Public Radio
In this episode, I get a crash course on git, and thought it
would make a good episode. Not actually on git itself, but
how to use it on Github and Gitlab.
First off, I am looking for a job, so I thought it would be
a great time to brush up on my git knowledge and make a show
too. Of course, I am no git expert by any means, but as it
has been said in comments Hacker Public Radio is my memory.
You will want to create and ssh key for each Git instance,
in this case I will use both Github and Gitlab. A few
other sites to host Git files which are Hacker Public Radio's own
Gitea on HPR,
Notabug and
Codeberg
Now lets get started.
ssh-keygen will create an ed25519 key pair
several years ago this was not yet the default
add entry to ~/.ssh/config for each git instance
Host github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github-ricemark20
Host gitlab.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab-archer72
SSH Keys
ssh-add ~/.ssh/git-key (not .pub)
Git
• GPG
- gpg --full-generate-key
- gpg --list-public-keys
- 40 character string
- git config --global user.signingkey XXXXPublicKey
- git config --global commit.gpgsign true
- gpg --armor --export XXXXPublicKey
- copy output to Github or Gitlab, including <…BEGIN PGP…>
