Hans-G?nter@25111 1 Password management should be simple and follow Unix philosophy.
Hans-G?nter@25111 2 With pass, each password lives inside of a gpg encrypted file
Hans-G?nter@25111 3 whose filename is the title of the website or resource that
Hans-G?nter@25111 4 requires the password.
Hans-G?nter@25111 5 These encrypted files may be organized into meaningful folder
Hans-G?nter@25111 6 hierarchies, copied from computer to computer, and, in general,
Hans-G?nter@25111 7 manipulated using standard command line file management utilities.
Hans-G?nter@25111 8
Hans-G?nter@25111 9 Pass makes managing these individual password files extremely easy.
Hans-G?nter@25111 10 All passwords live in ~/.password-store, and pass provides some
Hans-G?nter@25111 11 nice commands for adding, editing, generating, and retrieving
Hans-G?nter@25111 12 passwords.
Hans-G?nter@25111 13 It is a very short and simple shell script.
Hans-G?nter@25111 14 It's capable of temporarily putting passwords on your clipboard
Hans-G?nter@25111 15 and tracking password changes using git.
Hans-G?nter@25111 16
Hans-G?nter@25111 17 You can edit the password store using ordinary unix shell commands
Hans-G?nter@25111 18 alongside the pass command.
Hans-G?nter@25111 19 There are no funky file formats or new paradigms to learn.
Hans-G?nter@25111 20 There is bash completion so that you can simply hit tab to fill in
Hans-G?nter@25111 21 names and commands, as well as completion for zsh and fish available
Hans-G?nter@25111 22 in the completion folder.
Hans-G?nter@25111 23 The very active community has produced many impressive clients and
Hans-G?nter@25111 24 GUIs for other platforms as well as extensions for pass itself.
