Hi there!

I like to check out people's creative GitHub profiles. I noticed you have a GPG key on your GitHub account - nice job! That's actually pretty rare.

In order to promote and encourage GPG key usage and commit-signing on GitHub, I've built a small badge service that shows others that you have a publicly visible GPG key (in case you didn't know, GitHub automatically provides a link to users' GPG keys at github.com/USERNAME.gpg).

All this badge does is check that public link to see if there's a GPG key there - no tracking, no revenue involved, just a small way to signal that you care about promoting security on GitHub.

In case you're interested, but you don't like the look, there's also a little demo page where you can check out some other styles: https://demo.gpg-badge.hesreallyhim.com/

If you're not interested, feel free to close the PR - no hard feelings! Just trying to spread awareness about security and keys on GitHub. I hope this PR is not a nuisance, and thanks either way for contributing to a positive security culture on GitHub.
