gopass note

https://www.gopass.pw/ can do a lot. Right now, I just need a little. It's likely I'll have more post(s) about gopass.
I'm excited to get started with it.

Setup

1. gpg --batch --passphrase 'secret' --quick-gen-key mpayne default default
   1. Quick setup of a GNUpg.org key pair. Use '' if you don't want a passphrase.
2. gopass init mpayne

Use -- Create entries and Read entries

1. gopass insert demo1
2. gopass show demo1

Using in ~/.bashrc

1. export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
   1. so gpg-agent will prompt in a text only world (like just ssh)
2. export APW_DEMO1=$(gopass show demo1)
   1. Less than good that the secret password demo1 lives in cleartext in an environment variable. :shrug:
