What is gopass?

gopass is a password manager for the command line. The README says it gives the same experience on Linux, macOS, BSD or Windows, was built from experience in distributed development teams, and needs no network connection unless you want it. Encryption defaults to GPG with git versioning, with alternative backends such as age.
