We recommend using the crazy-max/ghaction-import-gp upstream action that this was based on.

GitHub action to import GPG private key

Note [7/14/22]: This action has been deprecated in favor of the upstream which now supports sign-only keys, and is well supported and documented.

Note [5/6/2021]: This was supposed to be a fork (paultyng/ghaction-import-gpg) of a fork (crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg) of the upstream repo. Due to the restrictions on using a sign-only key, we encountered this issue. This is an internal action that overrides this fork until the issue is resolved upstream.

Following environment variables must be used as step.env keys

Details on how to generate the Private Key and Passphrase can be found in our learn guide.
