Sorry if this is not the right place.
I am a late bloomer in email encryptiography.
I am trying to export my keys to a file. Is this correct because gpg just hangs forever here.
Code:
 gpg -ao --export > some-file_name

You need to specify a target for -o. As it stands, it appears to be trying to take --export as the name of the file. Instead, run gpg -a -o some-file-name --export.
