Solo developers

Local identity inventory without becoming a new secret store.

Use PubKeySpace to inspect the developer identity surfaces on your Mac before stale keys, unsigned repos, or tool configs become invisible risk.

Workflow

Run it on one machine first.

01

Open the desktop app

Start the local engine from the app. PubKeySpace keeps generated reports and config under app support storage.

02

Choose repo folders

Select the workspaces where Git repository checks should run. Home identity surfaces are still inspected from your user profile.

03

Review findings

Use the dashboard to inspect findings, remediation guidance, inventory, accepted risk, and local policy state.

04

Export if needed

Keep everything local by default. Export reports only when you intentionally want to share posture with a team workflow.

CLI path

The command line stays available.

pubkeyspace scan --config pubkeyspace.toml --workspace .
pubkeyspace remediation --report reports/current.json
pubkeyspace serve --config pubkeyspace.toml --workspace .

Use `scan` for local reports and `serve` for the local API/dashboard.

Use `remediation` to see concrete next actions for findings.

Reports include metadata and public fingerprints, not private keys or token values.

Cadence

Manual or daily checks are enough for most solo use.

Default

Run manually after key changes, repo onboarding, laptop setup, or before sharing a security posture report.

Routine hygiene

A daily local check is reasonable if you use PubKeySpace as part of ongoing developer security hygiene.
