You can make it your own personal repository or share it with a team. Navigate to Git and select New Repository. This prevents two people (or two devices controlled by the same person) from overwriting each others’ changes and causing conflicts. With first-class Git repositories, Keybase knows to lock your repository when necessary. Using Git repositories in Keybase (or via the command line) is better than just hosting your local Git repositories in Keybase Files. ![]() ![]() You can be sure that your team members did indeed push the changes that the Git history log says they did. This also means that every time you or a member of your team pushes or pulls (or clones) data to or from one of these repositories, all writes are verified by your private keys, which never leave your device. This means that your data is encrypted-not even Keybase can see what’s in there (nor its name, the filenames, your other configuration-nothing). Keybase has created an open source remote helper that facilitates this interaction, keeping the data in your repository within your control via your local Keybase app. This allows Git itself to interface with datastores other than the local filesystem. Under the hood, Git supports remote helpers. (How dare they?!) All of your data is automatically encrypted and verified. You can be certain they’re safe, not only from prying eyes, but also from malicious people who might try to change your code. They’re 100% private, encrypted, and verified. These repositories are real Git repositories but you can view them in the Keybase app. You can put any kind of content in these repositories, but they’re especially useful for personal private repos or for secret content shared among teams. systemctl -user start keybase.Keybase supports free, encrypted, authenticated, and private Git repositories. If you've SSHed into a server, you can do this so Keybase and KBFS keep working after your session ends. Optionally allow Keybase to keep running even if you're logged out. You can choose a subset of these, but remember that KBFS depends on Keybase (and will start it if it isn't already up). Optionally enable units to autostart on system boot. Environment variables can be overridden by writing to keybase.env in the same directory, or by creating a systemctl drop-in configuration with Environment directives. Specifically, this creates a file at ~/.config/keybase/ (or in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME). However, you could choose to have it run on login in a shell profile or rc file. ![]() Because systemd units do not automatically forward the user environment, this cannot be run automatically in the ExecStartPre directive. If they ever change, you'll need to run this command (or run_keybase) again to refresh them. keybase ctl initĪmong other things, this forwards a few environment variables to the systemd units. Accordingly, it runs under the system user manager of a particular user, not the global system manager.įirst, perform some basic environment setup required for the systemd units. Note that keybase cannot be run as root, and must be run as a user. In this case, you can to configure the systemd units directly without using run_keybase. If you're running Keybase on a server, you may want finer-grained control over Keybase than run_keybase provides. ![]() Keybase id īut this mode is not supported for all Keybase features (e.g., chat), and will likely be slower. Keybase prove -l # list available proof types Keybase prove twitter # prove your twitter identity Keybase id # print your username and proofs The following aren't specific to Linux, but demonstrate many of Keybase's features. Once logged in, you can make proofs, chat with friends, browse your KBFS files all in the GUI. Now that Keybase is running, you'll be able to create an account or log into the GUI. If you installed Keybase via an official package, you should have the script run_keybase available, which starts up Keybase, KBFS, and the GUI. No matter how you install, you should get updates automatically by running your package manager's update command. Note that the packages maintained by us are the quickest to get the latest features and security updates, the community packages may have packaging issues beyond our control, and the instructions below may not work out of the box. Keybase officially supports only Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, and Arch, but there are other packages for other systems as well. If you have any feedback or questions, let us know! Quickstart It covers some topics that are unique to Keybase on Linux. This guide is intended for everyone from Linux beginners to experts to distribution package maintainers.
