scoped-gpg

Why?

gpg isn't really fancy when it comes to verifying software releases. Usually each OSS project teams share a list of GPG keys, and they should be used to verify release signatures of only that particular project.

However, default behavior is to add everything to default-keyring, and it is pretty inconvenient to work with a custom keyring.

How?

scoped-gpg explicitly works only with a specified keyring, additionally if the key for the signature is missing - it will ask the user about adding it to the custom keyring.

scoped-gpg may be used with git tag -v, just set: git config gpg.program "scoped-gpg"

And optionally: git config gpg.scope "file-name" (default value is gpg-scope).

Installation

npm install -g scoped-gpg

Usage

scoped-gpg --list-keys --keyring /path/to/keyring
scoped-gpg --keyring /path/to/keyring --verify signature < message
