Description
Apologies if this feature request has been submitted before, but I wasn't able to find anything from a searching around.
From my understanding, the Keybase desktop app/ cli will export new GPG keys to the local keychain of Linux and MacOS users. It'd be very convenient to do this as well for Windows users. Windows by default doesn't have gpg installed, but many tools (such as Git) make use of the Windows port of gpg. Currently the workaround is to manually export the public and private keys, but this can be tedious.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Windows client’s key export flow and existing GnuPG integration, then determine how installation detection and local keychain export should work on Windows. Done means the behavior is implemented and verified for supported Windows GnuPG installations, with a clear fallback when GnuPG is absent.
