Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.
cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

This Gist explains how to do this using gpg in a step-by-step fashion. Previously, krypt.co was heavily mentioned, but I've only recently learned they were acquired by Akamai and no longer update their previous free products. Those mentions have been removed.
For using a GUI-based GIT tool such as Tower or Github Desktop, follow the steps here for signing your commits with GPG.
There has been a number of comments on this gist regarding some issues around the pinentry-program and M1 Macs. I've finally gotten a chance to try things out on an M1 and I've updated the documentation in 2-using-gpg.md to reflect my findings.

Tested only on Ubuntu 20.04, KDE Neon User Edition (based on Ubuntu 20.04) and OSX Mojave.
will probably work on other newer versions, with no changes, or with few changes in non-python dependencies (apt-get packages)
NOTE: Don't create a .sh file and run it all at once. It will not work. Copy, paste, and execute each command below manually. :-)

| Stuff i found out about debian preseed. | |
| It's all scattered, so I' collecting it here, so I can find it again, once I don't remember everything anymore. | |
| Basic documentation is here: | |
| https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs01.en.html | |
| Additionally I found these interesting links: | |

| Also these french guys had the same issue as me, that the installer suddenly complained that the setup cd isn't mounted. |
