Set up another PC to access pass's remote git repository

[Alec Clews]

OK, You asked for it :-).

I am using macOS so I can use POSIX file link semantics. I think Windows 
has something similar

1) Download and install Vercraypt. On my Mac using Homebrew Cask that is 
easy brew `cask install veracrypt`

2) Set up Dropbox sync folder (same idea also applies if you use Google 
Backup and Sync, Box.com etc)

3) Create a hidden Vercraypt file volume on your Dorpbox folder. See 
https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Hidden%20Volume.html

4) Create a mount point for you hidden volume and mount it. You should 
now be able to read and write to you volume

5) Create a directory in you volume for you pass files.

6) Backup your pass files

7) Move you pass files to the directory you created in step

8) Create a link from the to the new location from the default location 
for the password store

9) Unmount the Vercraypt volume and remount it

10) Test pass access

11) Delete backup.

12) Make sure passwords for Vercraypt volume and cloud storage are known 
outside pass database
