Description
Does anyone know the proper procedure for updating an expired GPG key?
We use the following steps, and seemed to work, but wondering if this is the best approach...
- delete the old key in ```/.git-crypt/keys/default/0/``` folder
- add the user again. The new key should have the same email address as the old key
---
Hypothetical speaking, however, what happens if a repo only has one person with a GPG key, and that expires. Is there anyway, after that, for that person to update their key? Or will they be locked out of the repo, at that point, going forward?
