GPG for Git After Fresh Install

Hi,

I am looking for confirmation on the correct process to get my GPG signing working again after a fresh install. I have backed up my .gnupg folder but I am hoping that isn’t a requirement from a practicality point of view. I have completed the following;

  1. Installed pip and the onlykey-agent
 pip install onlykey-agent

  1. Set my git config
git config  user.email adam@example.com
git config user.name adam
git config --global commit.gpgsign 1
git config --global gpg.program $(which gpg2)
git config  --global user.signingkey D926965E63......

  1. Started the GPG agent
 systemctl --user start gpg-agent

Looking at the .gnupg folder currently, there is no onlykey folder. I can restore my current backup  of the onlykey folder and it works as expected but I assumed that everything I needed was satisfied by the agent and the onlykey. Appreciate if someone can clarify

Thanks

Adam
