I do: $ gpg --list-keys /home/user/.gnupg/pubring.gpg ------------------------------ pub 2048R/41363A6A 2014-04-03 uid A Guy (git-annex key) sub 2048R/77998J8TDY 2014-04-03 and see the pub and the sub key. When I init a new special remote and want encryption, should I give the init command the pub or the sub key? Or does git annex sort that out itself? """]]
