## GPG Verification
To ensure the security and authenticity of this project, all commits and releases are GPG signed. You can verify the signatures of the commits using the following steps:
### 1. Import the Developer's Public Key
Fetch the public key from the Gitea instance and import it into your GPG keyring:
```bash
# Replace YOUR_TOKEN if the instance requires authentication
curl -s "https://git.quad4.io/api/v1/users/Ivan/gpg_keys" | jq -r '.[0].public_key' | gpg --import
```
### 2. Verify Commits
Once the key is imported, you can verify the commits in your local clone:
```bash
# Show signatures for the last 10 commits
git log --show-signature -n 10
```
You should see "Good signature from Ivan <ivan@quad4.io>" with the Key ID `1E0B37EE76428197`.
