When should I use multiple GPG keys instead of one?

Use multiple keys if you need unattended signing for CI/CD, work for different clients with unique email identities, or must follow enterprise isolation policies.

Can I automate key switching based on project folders?

Yes, this skill configures Git's conditional include feature to automatically select the correct GPG key based on the directory path of the repository.

Does this skill help with GitHub integration?

Yes, it provides standardized instructions for exporting public keys and managing multiple verified identities on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

Is it safe to use GPG keys without passphrases?

For CI/CD automation, a passphrase-free key is often required; however, this skill ensures these keys are isolated from your personal keys and stored securely in environment secrets.

Which GPG algorithms are supported?

The skill supports modern standards including RSA 4096-bit for maximum compatibility and Ed25519 for modern, high-performance security.
