Comment

I have been trying to verify my gpg key which I uploaded to my repo a while ago. Your documentation here https://docs.codeberg.org/security/gpg-key/ is very helpful up to the point where it comes to the actual verification of the key.

I am supposed to run this command echo -n 'my-token' | ssh-keygen -Y sign -n gitea -f /path_to_PrivateKey_or_RelatedPublicKey which returns Couldn't load public key ~/pk.asc: No such file or directory

The file is there, so I guess it's a matter of providing the correct file format? I have been trying various ways, asked ChatGPT, etc. but didn't get any further.
Hence I am opening this issue to ask for help but also once things are solved, to propose updating the documentation with whatever I ended up changing.

This is trying to verify a SSH key and not a GPG key, how did you come to this instruction?

I have to apologize, looks like a proper brain fart on my behalf. I landed on the instruction site with my mind set on pgp keys and didn't realize I started to deal with my ssh key. :-(
Sorry for the hassle, I think we can safely close this case.
