This guide is an adapted version of the more general "Protecting Code Integrity" guide written and maintained by The Linux Foundation IT for use with open-source projects. It provides the oft-lacking guidance on the following topics: - how to properly protect one's PGP keys to minimize the risks of them being stolen and used maliciously to impersonate a kernel developer - how to configure Git to properly use GnuPG - when and how to use PGP with Git - how to verify fellow Linux Kernel developer identities I believe this document should live with the rest of the documentation describing proper processes one should follow when participating in kernel development. Placing it in a wiki on some place like kernel.org would be insufficient for a number of reasons -- primarily, because only a relatively small subset of maintainers have accounts on kernel.org, but also because even those who do rarely remember that such wiki exists. Keeping it with the rest of in-kernel docs should hopefully give it more visibility, but also help keep it up-to-date as tools and processes evolve.

Working with the kernel development community
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
So you want to be a Linux kernel developer? Welcome! While there is a lot
|
|
to be learned about the kernel in a technical sense, it is also important
|
|
to learn about how our community works. Reading these documents will make
|
|
it much easier for you to get your changes merged with a minimum of
|
|
trouble.
|
|
|
|
Below are the essential guides that every developer should read.
