Description
There's a world of PGP tooling out there that wants a PGP private key. If you enter the PGP world through the keybase door, it's currently quite easy to get lost (see #7082). Documenting the keybase pgp export -s command along with some good key storage hygiene tips (where to put the file, etc), would be most helpful.
Thanks for considering this suggestion!
