## 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 store 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:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export PASH_KEYID=XXXXXXXX
|
|
|
|
# This can also be an email.
|
|
export PASH_KEYID=dylan.araps@gmail.com
|
|
```
