I wanted to encrypt something with my GPG Key. It was only on my laptop. Here’s what I did:


  gpg --export-secret-keys > gpgkeyfile
  gpg -c gpgkeyfile
  shred -u gpgkeyfile

Then move gpgkeyfile.gpg to another computer. To import them again:


  gpg -d gpgkeyfile.gpg > gpgkeyfile
  gpg --import gpgkeyfile


gpg: key 9140A8C7: secret key imported
gpg: key 9140A8C7: *** 1 new signature
gpg: key 5EF4A221: secret key imported
gpg: key 5EF4A221: public key *** imported
gpg: key 46C171A0: secret key imported
gpg: key 46C171A0: public key *** imported
gpg: Total number processed: 3
gpg:               imported: 2
gpg:         new signatures: 1
gpg:       secret keys read: 3
gpg:   secret keys imported: 3

Woo hoo!
