| 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. |
