gpg signature - Can't generate gpg secret key on mac

Question

I want to generate a gpg secret key. I run this command as described online however it doesn't complete.

c02xf1nkjgh7 ~ % gpg –-export-secret-keys  mykeyid > test.key
gpg: WARNING: no command supplied.  Trying to guess what you mean ...
usage: gpg [options] [filename]

Within the help page I see that command doesn't exist.

I also tried doing it through the UI an the file that was generated contained by public and private key. the application that is suppose to use this file complained about that. How else would I be able to generate the secret key?
