Other

When you see “-bash: ‘\r’: command not found” run dos2unix on the file.
caution s dos2unix modifies in place

Usage

  • Start with annotation; also use this if the password already exists, it will not modify first line, or leaves first line blank if it already exists
    pass insert -m twitter

  • Add password; -i will not overwrite annotation
    pass generate -n -i mbc/twitter 16

  • View
    pass show twitter
    pass show -c

  • Find
    pass find .com

  • Edit
    pass edit mbc/twitter

By convention leave all file names lower case

To make nano the default editor (useful for pass edit):

sudo update-alternatives –config editor

When presented with the editor list choose /bin/nano (“1”)
