sbt-pgp provides PGP signing for sbt.
Some OSS repositories (e.g. Sonatype) will require that you sign artifacts with publicly available keys prior to release. The primary purpose of sbt-pgp is to let you sign the artifacts using a GPG key.
Add the following to your project/plugins.sbt file:
addSbtPlugin("com.github.sbt" % "sbt-pgp" % "x.y.z")Note: We changed the organization from "com.jsuereth" to "com.github.sbt".
There are two modes of use:
- By default sbt-pgp 2.0.0+ will use the
gpgcommand-line utility (GNU Privary Guard, "GnuPG"). It provides great support and is available on many platforms. You'll need to make sure this is installed prior to usage as this dependency is not provided. - Prior to sbt-pgp 2.0.0,
sbt-pgpused the Bouncy Castle library, an implementation of PGP that is included with the plugin. It is a Java-only solution that gives the plugin great flexibility in what it can do and how it performs it.
First, please check that you have a recent version of GPG (GNU Privary Guard, "GnuPG") on your system. If not, install it from http://www.gnupg.org/download/ or your favorite package manager. For macOS, we recommend using GPG Suite.

If you're using GPG Suite, navigate to Preferences > GPG Suite, and uncheck "Store in macOS Keychain" to prevent your passphrase from being stored on your laptop.
See Working with PGP Signatures for details.
A key pair allows you to sign artifacts with GPG and users can subsequently validate that artifacts have been signed by you. You can generate a key with.
$ gpg --gen-key
Select the default value when asked for the kind (RSA) and the size (2048bit) of the key. The time of validity for the key defaults to never expire. However it is commonly suggested to use a value of less than 2 years. Once they key is expired you can extend it, provided you own the key and therefore know the passphrase.
Once key pair is generated, we can list them along with any other keys installed:
$ gpg --list-keys

Since other people need your public key to verify your files, you have to distribute your public key to a key server:
$ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys 2BE67AC00D699E04E840B7FE29967E804D85663F
If you have previously created a key pair using sbt-pgp 1.x's pgp-cmd for example, your secret key should be at $HOME/.sbt/gpg/secring.asc. You can import this to GnuPG as follows:
$ gpg --import $HOME/.sbt/gpg/secring.asc
gpg: /root/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key 77098E6A92692949: public key "foo <[email protected]>" imported

Next, see signing key section below to set 965F25CC72DF4F2A4358AC9B77098E6A92692949 as the signing key.
See sbt-ci-release.
To publish signed artifacts, use publishSigned or publishLocalSigned.
To skip the publish step for a subproject, set publish / skip to true.
publish / skip := true
If you've configured your gpg-agent with GPG Suite, it should ask for the passphrase when you run publishLocalSigned:
Note: It might take 30s or more for the dialog to show up.
Otherwise, add pinentry-program line in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf with the appropriate path to a pinentry program:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry
default-cache-ttl 600
max-cache-ttl 7200
You might need to restart the gpg-agent for the setting to take effect.
sbt-pgp 1.x has provided ways of storing passphrase using pgpPassphrase or in the credentials, but we no longer recommend using these methods on your laptop.
On CI environment like Travis CI, you might want to automate passphrase entry. For that purpose sbt-pgp supports PGP_PASSPHRASE environment variable following olafurpg/sbt-ci-release.
By default, all signing operations will use gpg's default key. A specific key can be used by setting sbt Credentials for the host "gpg".
credentials += Credentials(
"GnuPG Key ID",
"gpg",
"2BE67AC00D699E04E840B7FE29967E804D85663F", // key identifier
"ignored" // this field is ignored; passwords are supplied by pinentry
)Note: This follows the convention set by jodersky/sbt-gpg.
You can also use the usePgpKeyHex method.
usePgpKeyHex("2BE67AC00D699E04E840B7FE29967E804D85663F")If you are using a Yubikey 4 or another smartcard that supports OpenPGP, then you may have private keys implemented directly on the smartcard rather than using the gpg keyring. In this situation, you will use gpg-agent and a pinentry (pinentry-mac, pinentry-qt, pinentry-curses etc) rather than a passphrase. Set useGpgPinentry := true in your build.sbt settings to configure sbt-pgp appropriately.
Global / useGpgPinentry := trueNote that sbt-pgp only supports OpenPGP through the GPG command line tool -- it is not available through bouncycastle. In addition, you may need to explicitly enable support for OpenPGP on the Yubikey 4.
sbt-pgp needs to know where the gpg executable is to run. It will look for a either a gpg or gpg.exe executable on your PATH depdending on your platform. To configure a different location, place the following in your ~/.sbt/gpg.sbt file:
Global / gpgCommand := "/path/to/gpg"By default sbt-pgp will use the default private keys from the standard gpg keyrings.
You can configure the key ring you use with the pgpKeyRing setting.
Global / pgpKeyRing := Some(file("/home/me/pgp/pubring.gpg"))If specificied, this is passed to gpg command as --no-default-keyring --keyring <value>.
The plugin can be used to validate the PGP signatures of the dependencies of the project you're using. To validate these signatures, simply use the checkPgpSignatures task:
> checkPgpSignatures

In the above output, the signature for derby is from an untrusted key (id: 0x98e21827). You can import this key into your public key ring, and then the plugin will trust artifacts from that key. The public, by default, accepts any keys included in your public key ring file.
Prior to sbt-pgp 2.0.0, sbt-pgp used the Bouncy Castle library by default. If you cant to use gpg command setting useGpg to false will use the Bouncy Castle mode:
Global / useGpg := falseOr by setting SBT_PGP_USE_GPG environment variable to 0.
When using Bouncy Castle modue, sbt-pgp will ask for your password once, and cache it for the duration of the sbt process. The prompt will look something like this:
