An extension for [pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/) (the standard Unix password manager) to easily find elements of the password store.
# pass-append
An extension for [pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/) (the standard Unix password manager) to append a pass-style password and copy it to the clipboard before a `pass insert -m` call.
## Motivation
`pass show` requires that one type in the full path of the service, but I am too lazy to do that.
`pass generate` is cool. `pass insert -m # <- multiline` is cool. ¿Por qué no los dos? (Why not both?) Well, the answer is that it would be annoying to do in the pass code, I think.
## Usage
```
Usage:
pass reveal [reveallocation]
On the first run it creates a directory ".reveals" in \$PASSWORD_STORE_DIR.
By default this is ~/.password-store/.reveals".
It creates a reveal of the complete password store by creating a
compressed tar-file with extension .tar.bz2.
reveals themselves are excluded from the reveal.
Without argument the reveal file will receive the default name "passwordstore.DATE.TIME.tar.bz2"
where DATE and TIME are the current date and time.
If an argument is given and it is a directory, the reveal file will be placed
into the specified directory instead of the default ".reveals" directory.
If an argument is given and it is not a directory, it is used as a file
name and the reveal is stored with this filename with .at.gz2 appended.

This extension is heavily based on the [pass-backup](https://github.com/8go/pass-backup) extension (archived [here](https://git.loki.red/open.source/pass-backup)). Because `pass-backup` is open source, it was easy to take its architecture and use it for a different purpose.
