I have created multiple keys using gpg.
Whenever I try to sign any file, gpg automatically uses the first one I have created. How to set default key for signing in gpg. I don't want to delete/revoke the other one yet.
Otherwise, how can I change my default keys for signing?

To choose a default key without having to specify
--default-key
on the command-line every time, create a configuration file (if it doesn't already exist),~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
, and add a line containingreplacing
<key-fpr>
with the id or fingerprint of the key you want to use by default.
