NAME
gopass - stores, retrieves, generates, and synchronizes passwords securely
SYNOPSIS
gopass [ COMMAND ] [ OPTIONS ]... [ ARGS ]...
DESCRIPTION
gopass is a very simple password store that keeps passwords inside gpg2(1) encrypted files inside a simple directory tree residing at ~/.password-store. The gopass utility provides a series of commands for manipulating the password store, allowing the user to add, remove, edit, synchronize, generate, and manipulate passwords. If no COMMAND is specified, COMMAND defaults to either show or ls, depending on the type of specifier in ARGS. Otherwise COMMAND must be one of the valid commands listed below. Several of the commands below rely on or provide additional functionality if the password store directory is also a git repository. If the password store directory is a git repository, all password store modification commands will cause a corresponding git commit. git(1). The init command must be run before other commands in order to initialize the password store with the correct gpg key id. Passwords are encrypting using the gpg key set with init. There is a corresponding bash completion script for use with tab completing password names in bash(1).
COMMANDS
init [ --path=path, -p path ] gpg-id...
Initialize new password storage and use gpg-id for encryption. This command must be run first
before a password store can be used. Note that use of gpg-agent(1) is recommended so that the
batch decryption does not require as much user intervention.
ls subfolder
List names of passwords inside the tree at subfolder by using the tree(1) program. This command is
alternatively named list.
grep search-string
Searches inside each decrypted password file for search-string, and displays line containing
matched string along with filename.
find pass-names...
List names of passwords inside the tree that match pass-names by using the tree(1) program. This
command is alternatively named search.
show [ --clip, -c ] pass-name
Decrypt and print a password named pass-name. If --clip or -c is specified, do not print the
password but instead copy the first line to the clipboard using xclip(1).
insert [ --multiline, -m ] [ --force, -f ] pass-name
Insert a new password into the password store called pass-name. This will read the new password
from standard in. If --multiline or -m is specified, an editor will be opened for you to type the
password. Otherwise, only a single line from standard in is read. Prompt before overwriting an
existing password, unless --force or -f is specified. This command is alternatively named add.
edit pass-name
Insert a new password or edit an existing password using the default text editor specified by the
environment variable EDITOR or using editor as a fallback. This mode makes use of temporary files
for editing.
generate [ --no-symbols, -n ] [ --force, -f ] pass-name pass-length
Generate a new password of length pass-length and insert into pass-name. If --no-symbols or -n is
specified, do not use any non-alphanumeric characters in the generated password. Prompt before
overwriting an existing password, unless --force or -f is specified.
rm [ --recursive, -r ] [ --force, -f ] pass-name
Remove the password named pass-name from the password store. This command is alternatively named
remove or delete. If --recursive or -r is specified, delete pass-name recursively if it is a
directory. If --force or -f is specified, do not interactively prompt before removal.
mv [ --force, -f ] old-path new-path
Renames the password or directory named old-path to new-path. This command is alternatively named
rename. If --force is specified, silently overwrite new-path if it exists. If new-path ends in a
trailing /, it is always treated as a directory.
cp [ --force, -f ] old-path new-path
Copies the password or directory named old-path to new-path. This command is alternatively named
copy. If --force is specified, silently overwrite new-path if it exists. If new-path ends in a
trailing /, it is always treated as a directory.
git git-command-args...
If the password store is a git repository, pass git-command-args as arguments to git(1) using the
password store as the git repository. If git-command-args is init, in addition to initializing the
git repository, add the current contents of the password store to the repository in an initial
commit.
