Description

I cannot verify my github acount, it is unclear what should be the name of the public gist (I'd also emphasize it needs to be PUBLIC - the same with fb), and what the text. I tried it with bash (I've keybase cmd line tool installed)
`
```bash
# look me up
keybase id balu32
```
`
but this instruction is a complete mess

Thanks Rob
