problem in understanding gpg
by the-bitcoiner from LinuxQuestions.org on (#554XE)
hey all
now there is a project on github that I'm interested in
the project author is including his finger print and the public key in a .asc file
i want to relate things together as I new to the space
how i make use of both, the public key and the finger print, to verify the authenticity of the project
I will be cloning the repository and using the show signature flag of git
please note that i am still new to the space and would like to learn more and understand what i am doing, i am willing to have long detailed answers to dive more in this topic
thank you all in advance
