> The slightly more awesome standard UNIX password manager for teams.
Manage your credentials with ease. In a globally distributed team, on multiple devices or fully offline on an air-gapped machine.
- **Works everywhere** - The same user experience on Linux, MacOS, *BSD or Windows
- **Built for teams** - Built from our experience working in distributed development teams
- **Full autonomy** - No network connectivity required, unless you want it
# How Does It Work?
Gopass is a drop-in replacement for pass, the standard UNIX password manager.
By default your credentials are encrypted with GPG and versioned in git. This can be customized easily.
Other backends for encryption (e.g. age) and storage (e.g. fossil) are also available.
The primary interface is the command line, making it an excellent choice for CLI fans, CI/CD systems or
anything you can hook it up with. Gopass can also integrate with your browser so you can largely avoid
the command line - if you want.
# Installation
## Necessary prerequisites for running `gopass`
`gopass` can operate without any dependencies but most users will use it with `gpg` and `git`.
An external editor is required to use `gopass edit`.

# Quick start guide
Initialize a new `gopass` configuration:
```shell
gopass setup
__ _ _ _ _ _ ___ ___
/'_ '\ /'_'\ ( '_'\ /'_' )/',__)/',__)
( (_) |( (_) )| (_) )( (_| |\__, \\__, \
'\__ |'\___/'| ,__/''\__,_)(____/(____/
( )_) | | |
\___/' (_)
🌟 Welcome to gopass!
🌟 Initializing a new password store ...
🌟 Configuring your password store ...
🎮 Please select a private key for encrypting secrets:
[0] gpg - 0xFEEDBEEF - John Doe
Please enter the number of a key (0-12, [q]uit) (q to abort) [0]: 0
❓ Do you want to add a git remote? [y/N/q]: y
Configuring the git remote ...
Please enter the git remote for your shared store []: git@gitlab.example.org:john/passwords.git
✅ Configured
```
By default `gopass setup` will use `gpg` encryption and `git` storage. This will create a new password store in `$HOME/.local/share/gopass/stores/root` and a configuration in `$HOME/.config/gopass/config` using `gpg` encryption and `git` for versioned storage. Users can override these with e.g. `--crypto=age` to use `age` encryption instead or opt out of using a versioned store with `--storage=fs`.
An existing store can be cloned with e.g. `gopass clone git@gitlab.example.org:john/passwords.git`.
Create a new secret:
```shell
gopass create
```
List all existing secrets:
```shell
gopass ls
```
Copy an existing password to the clipboard:
```shell
gopass show -c foo
```
Remove an existing secret:
```shell
gopass rm foo
```
Other examples:
```shell
# Command structure
gopass [] [options] [args]
# Shortcut for gopass show []
gopass []
# Enter the gopass REPL
gopass
# Find all entries matching the search string
gopass find github
# List your store
gopass ls
# List all mounts
gopass mounts
# List all recipients
gopass recipients
# Sync with all remotes
gopass sync
# Setup a new store
gopass setup
```
