10## Usage
11
12Requires `PW_KEY` to be set. Do so by appending this to your `.bashrc`
13/ `.zshrc`:
14
15```shell
16export PW_KEY=user@mail.id

18This is your GPG key's associated email ID.

20Optionally, you may set `PW_DIR` to your desired path to change the
21default password store location, which is `~/.pw`.

69## Notes
70
71- Uses `pwgen -s` to generate passwords.
72- Lacks directory support because I don't need it.
73- Why not `pass(1)`? 700 lines vs 100 lines.
