Set default key in gpg for signing
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I have created multiple keys using gpg.
Whenever I try to sign any file, gpg automatically uses the first one I have created. How to set default key for signing in gpg. I don't want to delete/revoke the other one yet.
Otherwise, how can I change my default keys for signing?

To choose a default key without having to specify --default-key on the command-line every time, create a configuration file (if it doesn't already exist), ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf, and add a line containing
default-key <key-uid>
replacing <key-uid> with the key uid you want to use by default.
