Key Manager
Manage GnuPG keys from a terminal with gpg-tui, a text-based key management interface.

About Key Manager
gpg-tui is a terminal user interface for GnuPG, distributed as an open-source repository. It provides an interactive way to carry out key management operations such as listing, exporting and signing keys, while keeping a command-line fallback for more complex tasks. The project states it does not attempt to cover every feature gpg offers; it focuses on making key management more interactive.
It runs on Linux and other Unix-like systems, and is packaged for Cargo, Arch Linux, Alpine, Gentoo, Homebrew, Docker, FreeBSD and NetBSD, as well as being buildable from source. Building requires Rust 1.87.0 or newer, plus gnupg, gpgme 1.12.0 or newer and libgpg-error, with libxcb as an additional dependency. A Docker image is published for quick launches.
