💖 TLA-GPG-CHECK(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual for tla-gpg-check — it's the GNU Arch revision signature checker, and honestly? it's giving tiny but mighty ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

tla-gpg-check — the GNU Arch revision signature checker, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tla-gpg-check gpg_command="gpg_command"

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one argument, slay 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she do? she checks whether a revision is correctly signed. that's the whole job. 💖

the way this is meant to be used is inside tla's signing hooks — like, this is a little helper that lives in your hook setup. she calls gpg_command on the standard input, and then she makes sure that only one signed message is given. one message, not two, not a chaotic pile. periodt. 💀

🌸 setting up a simple automatic tla signature check 🌸

here's the recipe, bestie, straight up:

mkdir -p -m 700 ~/.arch-params/signing/
echo 'tla-gpg-check gpg_command="gpg --verify-files -"' \
  > ~/.arch-params/signing/=default.check
echo 'gpg --clearsign --use-agent' > ~/.arch-params/signing/=default

and that's the entire setup. lowkey iconic. 👑
