Gopass Verify

This script is intended to be used to check if your setup will (probably, maybe?) work with gopass.

Setting up gopass can be a pain in the ass, specially if it is to be used by developers who are not familiar with gpg. I have spent a lot of time trying to debug non working setups lately, so I decided to write a script to catch some of the most common problems I have seen.

Running the checks in one command

Just use

git clone https://github.com/sirech/gopass-verify.git && cd gopass-verify && ./go verify

Running the script

The script is self documenting, so just run it from the directory

./go

And it will output a list of commands. To run all the possible checks do:

./go verify

The output should hopefully help you figure out what is wrong.

Fixing errors automatically

This is a much harder problem, and the amount of cases to cover increases a lot. The output of the script should provide some guidance.
