+## GPG
+
+Maven Central requires all packages to be signed.
+This necessarily means the headache of key management.
+Fortunately keys don't need to be regenerated very often,
+but here are some notes for whenever it's required again.
+
+Sonatype has good [docs](https://central.sonatype.org/publish/requirements/gpg/) on generating a key.
+To export the private key for use in CI,
+you can run the following command.
+
+```shell
+gpg --armor --export-secret-key you@example.com | grep -v '\-\-' | grep -v '^=.' | tr -d '\n'
