I created my GnuPG keys. They show up in my keys repository. Now I want to export my secret key and import it into another computer so I could use it on that computer (for example my laptop).
Do I have to export and import private and public keys separately? Does the secret key already include the public key somewhat?
Basically I want to have a copy of my public and private keys on my laptop.

Your private key should always remain private, you should not upload it to anywhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

Your public key goes on the server, the private key should NEVER leave your computer. The way your question is worded leads me to belive you want to "export it and import it into another computer". – Tyson – 2014-08-23T02:11:45.807
