Canonically, GPG means GNU Privacy Guard, and it is an independent implementation of the OpenPGP standards, so you can use it for example to encrypted messages with people using other OpenPGP implementations.

PGP is a more correct way of naming the formats for keys, encrypted messages and message signatures defined by an OpenPGP standard software.

In Gitcher and its documentation, these terms do not appear correctly reflected. They are mixed and tend to encompass everything under the acronym GPG. This must be corrected according to the previously reflected.
