I lost my GPG Key for GitHub and was wondering what I should do. Should I keep and create a new one or revoke it? Will revoking the key on my account cause my commits to be unverified?

Sure, you can generate a new one.

Revoking the old one means old commits signed with the old gpgp keys won't be verifiable anymore. You can add new (signed) tags to old commits though.
