In the first two articles in this series, I shared how you can use your GPG key to authenticate your SSH connections and import existing SSH keys.

And, if you're like me, you also don't want to have to log into every server you use to update the authorized_keys file. A way around this is to import your existing SSH keys into your GPG key. This will eliminate the need for private key files. read more
