For more information on using GPG for email security, this handy page from the EFF has more details and how you can get started.
If you want to sign Git commits using GPG keys, Git has a guide to setup commit signing (and GitHub has a slightly more beginner-friendly guide). If you are using GitHub, follow this guide to add the key to your account as well.
