27 is a simple password manager.
28 Passwords are stored as a directory tree where every password is a
34 repository with a worktree checked out at
35 .Pa ~/.password-store .
36 The only restriction is that a special file called
38 containing the GPG recipient must exist in the root of the directory tree
43 Password entries can be referenced using the path relative to the
50 provides global and command-specific options.
51 Global options must precede the command name, and are as follows:
54 Display usage information and exit immediately.
57 The following commands are available:
59 .It Cm cat Ar entries ...
60 Decrypt and print the content of

68 Print the entries of the store one per line, optionally filtered by
71 .It Cm mv Ar from Ar to
72 Rename a password entry, doesn't work with directories.
77 .It Cm rm Ar entries ...
81 .It Cm tee Oo Fl q Oc Ar entry
82 Persist the data read from standard input into the store under the given
84 name and then print it again on the standard output unless the
