GPG Key

You will need to create a private GPG keyring on your machine, if you don't have one do the following steps:

Run gpg --full-generate-key
Choose RSA and RSA for the key type
Use 4096 for the key size
Use 0 for the expiration (never)
Use any name, email address, and password

This creates your key in ~/.gnupg/openpgp-revocs.d/ with .rev format. The last 8 characters before the .rev extension are your Key ID.

To export the key, run:

gpg --export-secret-keys -o $HOME/sonatype.gpg

Finally upload your key to the keyserver:

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.openpgp.org --send-keys <YOUR KEY ID>
