Setup pass storage and remote git sync

setup-pass.md

Setup pass with git

1. Install pass utility

   sudo pacman -S pass

2. Create a GPG key using the default RSA also (if not yet created)

   gpg --full-gen-key

3. Use the returned GPG Key Id to init the pass storage (if you already had one you can retrieve it using gpg --list-secret-keys)

   pass init GPG_KEY_ID

4. Sync the pass storage with a remote git repository

   pass git init
   pass git remote add origin example.com:pass
   pass git push

Using pass on another machine

1. Export your GPG key from your original machine:

   gpg --export-secret-keys --armor GPG_KEY_ID > privkey.asc
   gpg --export --armor GPG_KEY_ID > pubkey.asc

2. Import your GPG key on the new machine:

   gpg --import /path/to/pubkey.asc
   gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import /path/to/privkey.asc

3. Trust it if necessary:

   gpg --edit-key GPG_KEY_ID

4. Install pass utility if not already installed:

   sudo pacman -S pass

5. Make your repository the new pass store:

   rm -rf ~/.password-store
   git clone user@server:repository.git ~/.password-store
