pass

Safely store and read passwords or other sensitive data easily. All data is GPG-encrypted, and managed with a git repository.

• Initialize the storage using a gpg-id for encryption:

pass init {{gpg_id}}

• Save a new password (prompts you for the value without echoing it):

pass insert {{path/to/data}}

• Copy a password (first line of the data file) to the clipboard:

pass -c {{path/to/data}}

• List the whole store tree:

pass

• Generate a new random password with a given length, and copy it to the clipboard:

pass generate -c {{path/to/data}} {{num}}

• Run any git command against the underlying store repository:

pass git {{git-arguments}}
