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.
Usage:
pass --init gpg-id
Initialize new password storage and use gpg-id for encryption.
pass [--ls]
List passwords.
pass pass-name
Show existing password.
pass --insert [--multiline] pass-name
Insert new optionally multiline password.
pass --generate [--no-symbols] pass-name pass-length
Generate a new password of pass-length with optionally no symbols.
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.
