Dummy's guide to code signing

I'm wondering if there is a dummy's guide to code signing. This page seems to have a step by step process but doesn't tell how to actually do any of the steps.

For example....


Xcode will be installed and the Intermediate Certificate will be pushed into the Keychain

How? Where do I install xcode from (I actually figured that out)?
How or what do I need to do to get the intermediat cert pushed in to the keychain. What is a keychain? Where do I find it?


Certificate Signing Request (CSR) will be created

How is the CSR created? Do I need to do something or is this automagic once I install xcode or do something else.


It surpises me how bad the documentation for this is. I would think at the very least since I just spent $100 to be in the developer program Apple would have this. If they do....its well hidden.
