Hi all,

I find that subcommands capability is a must – have. Sync them with git is very usefull (then subcommands in a pass subfolder). I am waiting for the patch integration as soon as possible.
I understand that a subcommand should be available only if it has been signed by the user.

My guess is that the user should be lead to review and sign the subcommand when it tries to use it (and he has not already signed it).
BTW, a general /sign/ function would also be usefull in a multi – user environment to prevent malicious modification of a password or metadata.

Subcommand prompt could be something like :
$ pass totp Web/google/account at google.com
> You have not signed totp subcommand. Please review
$PREFIX/$SUBCOMMAND_FOLDER/totp file.
> Already signed by Xxxx Yyyyy, key KKKKKKK trusted ....
> Already signed by Zzzzzz Aaaa, key LLLLLLL trusted ....

[gpg sign result append to totp.sig and commited]

[totp subcommand]

Although like I said, I think that a full /sign/ command for any password-store entry shall exist, added as an option to /pass insert, generate/, and status append to /pass show/ output.

Thank you for the work,
