[question] DIfference from pass

[krautcat]

I can't guess the purpose of this manager when https://github.com/zx2c4/password-store exists. What's the goal of this project?

I'm just asking the question to elaborate for myself possible usecases of this password manager.

The source for pass is rather complex and relies on things like eval which I don't really like. The source is rather messy and isn't anywhere near shellcheck compliance. pash is tiny, simple, shellcheck compliant and pure bash (other than calls to gpg, xclip and mkdir).

That being said, password-store is a mature program and pash is a newborn in comparison. If you care about your password manager being written in a "safe" way then you'll see the value in pash.

I'll also be working on this actively and I'm open to adding features. :)

Compliance to shellcheck is something I required from myself when I write shell scripts. This is important feature for code quality IMO.

So, as far as I can understand, the main goal of this project is to create drop-in replacement for password-store with better code quality and less bloated in comparison with it.

Thank you for quick response!

I can't guarantee full password-store compatibility (it doesn't currently support it at all) but this can and may be added in the near future.
