For production, see chapter 1 of GPG documentatio,
"Getting Started":
https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/c14.html
(note the swapping of "g" and "p" in comparison to PGP.)
The manual of gpg is quite rich in detail information:
man gpg
When posting official announcements to info-gnu@gnu.org, i use
gpg --clearsign my_file
to get a new file my_file.asc which looks like
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
...
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux)
iD8DBQFVWdQp6cvfwKvAqFQRAkWDAJwMwJS89XAq2npLv0iYdmCT6fv8LACgoRVW
csBodn7iN9YzXO2sHZgthFc=
=FlQN
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
This can be verified by getting my public key
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys ABC0A854
and running gpg --verify on my signed cleartext message
gpg --verify my_file.asc
An example message can be found at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2015-05/msg00009.html
Have a nice day :)
