======================

This is a very simple password store that encrypts passwords using gpg and
places the encrypted password in a directory. It can generate new passwords
and keep track of old ones.

If the password storage directory ($HOME/.password-store) is also a git
repository, add/remove/change operations will create a corresponding git
commit.

Usage:
    pass init gpg-id
        Initialize new password storage and use gpg-id for encryption.
    pass [ls] [subfolder]
        List passwords.
    pass [show] [--clip,-c] pass-name
        Show existing password and optionally put it on the clipboard.
        If put on the clipboard, it will be cleared in 45 seconds.
    pass insert [--multiline,-m] pass-name
        Insert new optionally multiline password.
    pass generate [--no-symbols,-n] [--clip,-c] pass-name pass-length
        Generate a new password of pass-length with optionally no symbols.
        Optionally put it on the clipboard and clear board after 45 seconds.
    pass remove pass-name
        Remove existing password.
    pass push
        If the password store is a git repository, push the latest changes.
    pass pull
        If the password store is a git repository, pull the latest changes.
    pass help
        Show this text.

Examples:

    - Initialize password store:
    
        zx2c4@laptop ~ $ pass init Jason@zx2c4.com
        mkdir: created directory ‘/home/zx2c4/.password-store’
        Password store initialized for Jason@zx2c4.com.
