pass file
is a extension for adding arbitary files to the pass password store. Files will be encoded using base64
before encryption. This extension is inspired by gopass' binary
function to which it is also compatible. Files stored with gopass binary
can be retrieved with pass file
and vice versa.
Usage: pass file action pass-name [path]
Actions:
store|add|attach: add new file to password store
retrieve|show|cat: retrieve file from password store and print it to stdout
edit|vi: edit a file (warning: unencrypted file will be opened with $EDITOR)
