Exporting your keys can be done with the following commands:
-$ gpg --export-secret-keys -a keyid > my_secret_key.ascJust in case you lose your key, or it gets compromised, you want to generate a certificate and choose to save it in a safe place on your computer for now (please refer to step 6.C for how to best store your revocation cerficate safely).
