GnuPG Configuration

This directory contains GnuPG configuration files that will be symlinked to ~/.gnupg/.

Setup

  1. Edit the files to customize for your system:

    • gpg-agent.conf: Update pinentry-program path for your OS
      • macOS: /opt/homebrew/bin/pinentry-mac
      • Linux: /usr/bin/pinentry-curses or /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2

  2. Run the symlinks task:

    ./eru.sh install symlinks

  3. Reload gpg-agent to apply changes:

    gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye

Why Symlinks?

GnuPG doesn't natively support the XDG Base Directory specification and expects configs in ~/.gnupg/. By keeping configs in this repo under ~/.config/gnupg/ and symlinking them, we can:

  • Track GnuPG configuration in version control
  • Keep all configs organized under ~/.config/
  • Share configs across machines
  • Maintain consistent environment setup

Files

  • gpg-agent.conf: Agent configuration (pinentry, cache settings, SSH support)
  • gpg.conf: Main GPG configuration (key preferences, cipher settings)
  • dirmngr.conf: Directory manager configuration (keyservers, proxies)

Security Notes

  • Never commit private keys to version control
  • The .gitignore excludes *.secret and *.gpg files
  • Keep sensitive configs in *.secret files (ignored by git)
  • Permissions will be automatically fixed to 600/700 by the bootstrap script
