For these next steps to work, you will need to make sure that one of the e-mail addresses used in the GPG Key is also associated with your GitHub account. You can verify that and make the necessary adjustments over on your GitHub Settings > Emails. As a reminder, there is an option in the E-Mail settings page that says Keep my email address private. This allows you to use a no-reply e-mail from GitHub to obscure your personal e-mail address and avoid any privacy issues (remember that when using git log we can see the commiter's username and e-mail address). If you want to use this no-reply e-mail for the GPG Signing key, then you need to make sure that you have updated your git config user.email to use the no-reply e-mail address, and also included it as as an e-mail address within your key (e.g. Alice's [email protected]).

Now, navigate across to GitHub Settings > SSH and GPG Keys. You will notice that there is an option to add a New GPG Key. If you have already added any existing GPG Keys, then it will list those for you (as you'll see in the screenshot below).

Once you have added the Public GPG Key details to GitHub, you can now go ahead and push your local changes to GitHub by using git push (If you haven't already associated a remote location with the Git repository, then you may also need to use the git remote add command, and then use git push). Assuming that the Public Key in the GPG Keys section of your GitHub account corresponds with the Private Key used to sign the commits, then you will notice that commits will be marked as verified in the GitHub user interface. See the example below from the cloudwithchris.com Git Repository Commits page.
