Unable to verify commits with gpg - Bitcoin alerts for Nostr

I'm trying to run this project on my nostr account https://github.com/yukibtc/bitcoin-alerts with my Windows machine.

As I clone the repo and run the command

gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys $(<contrib/verify-commits/trusted-keys)

to import gpg keys, I receive this errors:

gpg: Warning: Enabling DEP failed: Access denied. (0,1) gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure.

I followed these instructions and installed https://www.gpg4win.org/get-gpg4win.html on my machine but it seems like there's something not working for me and I need some help as I never worked with encrypted files.

Thanks for your time

Key that save in github is your public key and you cant use it for encrypt and it's just for decrypt. you need recover your secret key if you can't must generate new key and add it to your github acount

First generate your key

(I assume you know how to do this, otherwise leave a comment so I can update the answer)

Next list your keys by this code and copy your Key id :

gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long

Key id is highlight in image

gpg Key id

Now add it to your git config by this code

git config user.signingkey YourKeyId

Final step is add gpg address to your git

git config --global gpg.program "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe"

EndNote : for github know your key you must add your public key to your github account if you don't know how do it or any question leave comment for me

I will be happy to help you

Update :

Note : You must use bottom code in your project folder cmd or your IDE PowerShell to save configuration in your git config file of repository

git config user.signingkey YourKeyId

For verify commit use this code:

git commit -S -m 'Your Message'

and some time we need verify merge branch by this code

git merge -S Branchname

push your verified commits to your repository

if is your first time and fear to have the mistake. you can create test repository on git and Practice with it
