Then you need to try scenario 2:

1. two repos on your server, one is bare and the other isn’t
2. the non-bare repo is set up in ~/.password-store (the usual
location for pass) and has the bare repo as its origin remote (using
just $HOME/pass-store as the remote address)
3. the bare repo has a post-receive hook
(~/pass-store/hooks/post-receive), which is a bash script that calls
pass git pull origin master and updates the server password store
appropriately
