Alternate way to submit your public key to the key servers using the CLI

gpg --keyid-format LONG --list-keys john@example.com
pub   rsa4096/ABCDEF0123456789 2018-01-01 [SCEA] [expires: 2021-01-01]
      ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456789
uid              [ ultimate ] John Doe <john@example.com>

This shows the 16-byte Key-ID right after the key-type and key-size. In this example it's the highlighted part of this line:

pub rsa4096/ABCDEF0123456789 2018-01-01 [SCEA] [expires: 2021-01-01] aescripts workflower exclusive

The next step is to use this Key-ID to send it to the keyserver, in our case the MIT one. Access to exclusive tutorials and layout presets that

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys ABCDEF0123456789
