Keybase is just another Git remote you can push to, one that transparently
encrypts whatever is pushed to that remote.

The Git repo itself is completely normal in every other respect, so if you
push to Github, everyone can still see the entire repo.

This is a good design as it lets people move repos easily and avoid too much
lock-in, but it may (will...) come back to bite people soon, who push things
to Github thinking they were "encrypted by Keybase", which is not what's going
on.

Do they have a website/server?

#1. Host a file on your site

You can host a text file, such as yoursite.com/keybase.txt. This is preferred,
if you have a website.

#2. Set a DNS TXT record

Instead of hosting a web page, you can place a keybase proof in your DNS
records.

> Do they have a website/server?

Not necessarily. I'm talking about people who want to remain anonymous (or
pseudonymous) and might want to keep as low a public online profile as
possible.

Keybase is just another Git remote you can push to, one that transparently 
 encrypts whatever is pushed to that remote control. 

 The Git repo itself is wholly normal in every early respect, so if you 
 push to Github, everyone can still witness the entire repo. 

 This is a good blueprint as it lets people travel repos easily and avoid besides much 
 lock - in, but it may (will ...) come back to bite multitude soon, who crusade things
