FAQ

How does this differ from pass or etc?

I was looking for a CLI password manager (written in bash) and wasn't happy with the options I had found. They either had multiple instances of eval (on user inputted data), lots of unsafe bash (nowhere near being shellcheck compliant.) or they were overly complex. The opposites for what I'd want in a password manager.

I decided to write my own. pash is written in pure bash (minus gpg, mkdir and optionally xclip.) and the codebase is minimal (100~ lines). gpg is used to generate passwords and store them in encrypted files.

Where are passwords stored?

The passwords are stored in GPG encrypted files located at ${XDG_DATA_HOME:=$HOME/.local/share}/pash}.

How can I use a public key?

Set the environment variable PASH_KEYID to the ID of the key you'd like to encrypt and decrypt passwords with.

Example:

# Default: 'unset'.
export PASH_KEYID=XXXXXXXX

# This can also be an email.
export PASH_KEYID=dylan.araps@gmail.com

# This can also be used as a one-off.
PASH_KEYID=XXXXXXXX pash add github

How do I set the password length?

Set the environment variable PASH_LENGTH to a valid integer.

Example:

# Default: '50'.
export PASH_LENGTH=50

# This can also be used as a one-off.
PASH_LENGTH=10 pash add github

How do I change the password store location?

Set the environment variable PASH_DIR to a directory.

# Default: '~/.local/share/pash'.
export PASH_DIR=~/.local/share/pash

# This can also be used as a one-off.
PASH_DIR=/mnt/drive/pash pash list

How do I rename an entry?

It's a file! Standard UNIX utilities can be used here.

How can I extend pash?

A shell function can be used to add new commands and functionality to pash. The following example adds pash git to execute git commands on the password store.

pash() {
    case $1 in
        g*)
            cd "${PASH_DIR:=${XDG_DATA_HOME:=$HOME/.local/share}/pash}"
            shift
            git "$@"
        ;;

        *)
            command pash "$@"
        ;;
    esac
}
