Partial configuration is fine. Command line options always override the config file settings.
## GPG verification
GHCup supports verifying the GPG signature of the metadata file. The metadata file then contains SHA256 hashes of all downloads, so
this is cryptographically secure.
First, obtain the gpg key:
```sh
gpg --batch --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 7784930957807690A66EBDBE3786C5262ECB4A3F
```
Then verify the gpg key in one of these ways:
1. find out where I live and visit me to do offline key signing
2. figure out my mobile phone number and call me to verify the fingerprint
3. more boring: contact me on Libera IRC (`maerwald`) and verify the fingerprint
Once you've verified the key, you have to figure out if you trust me.
If you trust me, then you can configure gpg in `~/.ghcup/config.yaml`:
```yml
gpg-setting: GPGLax # GPGStrict | GPGLax | GPGNone
```
In `GPGStrict` mode, ghcup will fail if verification fails. In `GPGLax` mode it will just print a warning.
You can also pass the mode via `ghcup --gpg <strict|lax|none>`.
## Manpages
For man pages to work you need [man-db](http://man-db.nongnu.org/) as your `man` provider, then issue `man ghc`. Manpages only work for the currently set ghc.
