Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ebourgess/pass-generator.git

2. Build the executable:

   go build pass-generator.go

3. To use it globally move it to /usr/local/bin

   sudo mv pass-generator /usr/local/bin

Usage

pass-generator -h
    --digits
        Use digits
    --length int
        Password length (default 12)
    --lower
        Use lowercase letters (default true)
    --special
        Use special characters
    --upper
        Use uppercase letters (default true)

In order to use this simply run the command

pass-generator --length 32 --digits --lower --special --upper

Keep in mind that by default, length is 12, lower and upper are both enabled. So if you need to add digits or special characters, you will need to add the flags special and upper to your command.
