This is a clean-room reimplementation of "the standard unix password manager", ZX2C4's pass in fully portable POSIX shell script. It aims to be a drop-in replacement. It isn't there yet, but is functional enough for me to use.
All supported commands also fully support all options.
- init
- show
- edit
- insert, add
- remove, rm, delete
- list, ls
For now, see the link in the first paragraph of this README.
Two reasons:
-
The other pass is 'portable'. It uses bash, and abstracts platform differences away in a file called
platform.shwhich is installed from a different repository file depending on the operating system make is called on. This does not work for my very contrived usecase. I copy most of my shellscripts around for the systems I use. Those systems include Alpine (no bash) and macOS (differentplatform.sh).Writing correct and portable POSIX shell scripts is not easy, but I've made it a bit of a hobby or puzzle. Rewriting the other pass to be POSIX compatible would probably not be accepted by upstream. This version only requires a POSIX environment and gpg.
-
This project is licensed under CC0. This means I can't look at the code from the other pass to figure out what the deal is with multiple gpg id's. :(
All of them. Like missing a ton of essential features.
