Simple Password Store
by Jason Donenfeld
Jason@zx2c4.com
======================
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.
Initialize new password storage and use gpg-id for encryption.
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
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
If the password store is a git repository, push the latest changes.
If the password store is a git repository, pull the latest changes.
