pass
show passwords: (foo is the name of the site or reference tied to a password)
pass foo
for a site or reference within a category
pass catname/foo
copy the password directly to the clipboard
pass -c foo
generate new passwords via urandom
pass generate foo 8
remove site or reference password
pass rm foo
initial setup
pass uses gnupg2, which does not share it's keyring with gnupg
You will need gpg key generated, public and private. You can generate or import with gnupg2. To import here is an example:
gpg2 --import private.key gpg2 --edit-key nicolep
With the key available the command format for pass will look something like this example. Replace the username and the sample key 0123456789ABCDEF with yours from .gnupg/pubring.kbx or wherever yours is stored.
pass init "nicolep 0123456789ABCDEF" pass init nicolep
