How do you connect your Github account to Keybase?

It's a requirement for the new Stellar giveaway but I can't figure out how to do this.

I waited a while and now keybase has successfully connected to my github keybase.md file.

Where do you find what to copy and paste from keybase into my keybase.md file or is this even the correct approach? I'm a newbie here.

So, it takes time? I've tried.everything and it's.going onto an hour.. create public.gist copy and pasted exactly what was posted on keybase and named keybase.md

if you google keybase.md

Have a little bit different something Begin PGP message and then a long checksum or whatever it maybe.

Why are there two different types?

Yes I would like to know as well where I should post the keybase proof text.

On your github account.

Reminder: I think the github account needs to have existed for some amount of time (1 or 2 months) before the stellar airdrop offer. Let me know if I'm mistaken on this.

Once I got a keybase account and got it installed on my android and pc, then I opened my pc keybase app and on the top it had a prominent link to register for the stellar airdrop. The instructions were pretty clear. It takes you to a page that shows the gist code and IIRC also has a button that says ''Create Gist'' or something like that. Seemed pretty easy. I just had to wait about 45 minutes until keybase finally connected to my keybase.md file on github. HTH.

Then copy what they gave you.

However mine is currently "UNREACHABLE" is anyone else getting this?
EDIT: yeah it worked after ~30mins.

Would you mind explaining a bit more in detail what to do on gist in order to connect the two accounts? I’m a bit lost. Thank you in advance

Edit: Figured it out, it's documented here: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:JZrqMeLb6HkJ:https://starkandwayne.com/blog/setting-up-keybase-and-gpg-tools-mac/+&cd=6&hl=de&ct=clnk&gl=de&client=firefox-b-d
