woodruffwOver the next few days, Homebrew’s repositories will begin to transition from PGP-based signing to SSH-based signing for @BrewTestBot commits.
As part of this change, we will be rotating our @BrewTestBot’s key.
This rotation should not affect most users, but you may notice
it if you currently manually verify git commits from
Homebrew/brew, Homebrew/homebrew-core, or similar.
Once all repositories have been transitioned, we will revoke the old PGP key to prevent unintended future use:
- Main key:
3C76C3F1E573FA9E - Signing subkey:
82D7D104050B0F0F
The new SSH signing key has the following public half:
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIE0QzQJ6gl6Yxru0QrSaDRNatiHajcKxDu9lxQrFl8Nw
Users can also discover this signing key programmatically through GitHub’s REST API:
$ gh api /users/BrewTestBot/ssh_signing_keys
[
{
"id": 475371,
"key": "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIE0QzQJ6gl6Yxru0QrSaDRNatiHajcKxDu9lxQrFl8Nw",
"title": "BREWTESTBOT_SSH_SIGNING_KEY",
"created_at": "2025-02-03T17:50:27.377+01:00"
}
