# pw > a mnml password manager ## Dependencies - `bash` - `gpg2` (will add `gpg` support later) - `xclip` for clipboard support ## Usage Requires `PW_KEY` to be set. Do so by appending this to your `.bashrc` / `.zshrc`: ```shell export PW_KEY=user@mail.id ``` This is your GPG key's associated email ID. Optionally, you may set `PW_DIR` to your desired path to change the default password store location, which is `~/.pw`. ``` pw - mnml password manager usage: pw [options] [NAME] All options except -i and -h require a NAME argument. options: -i Initializes password directory at $HOME/.pw or at $PW_DIR, if it exists. -a Add a password. -g Generate a password. -s Print password to STDOUT. -l List out all passwords. -c Copy existing password to clipboard. -d Delete password. -h Display this help message and exit. ``` ## Examples ```shell $ PW_DIR=~/passwords pw -i pw: password directory initialized at /home/icy/passwords $ pw -a twitter enter password: pw: /home/icy/.pw/twitter.gpg created $ pw -c twitter pw: copied twitter to clipboard $ pw -s twitter notmyrealpassword $ pw -g github pw: generated password for github pw: /home/icy/.pw/github.gpg created $ pw -l fake github more passwords some twitter ``` ## Notes - Uses `pwgen -s` to generate passwords. - Lacks directory support because I don't need it. - Why not `pass(1)`? 700 lines vs 100 lines.
