Seems similar to 'pass' (http://www.passwordstore.org) but IMO without pass' killer feature: git integration. pass manages passwords as a directory tree of gpg encrypted files which can be easily synchronized with multiple machines using built-in git integration (not to mention all the other benefits of version control, like undo/redo, history, etc).

Version control is really cool for this sort of information. Unfortunately, pass leaks information in filenames, which is a pretty big problem for some uses. In my opinion, the version control needs to be built into the application to avoid all the potential side channel information leaks.

I've been using pass for a while now. It's quite mature and stable. I use it with git and put it through encfs and sync it with dropbox. Works quite well.

I hope this matures enough to compete with `pass`

Hm, that's what put me off pass. I want to manage my own dotfiles git repository.

I am the author of Passpie and one of my goals with passpie was that it should be as configurable as possible. Pass(http://www.passwordstore.org) is a great and mature cli application and as with any great applications there are alternatives.

History (undo/redo) is planned on passpie, probably using git as well.

Some ideas are: passpie history --list passpie history --undo XYZ passpie history --redo ABC passpie history --backend git --redo 123 passpie history --sync

You may like pass you may like passpie you may like both. :)
