A single text file as password store database?

[Lenz Weber]

Hi Hörmet,

Pass is intended to work with multiple files.

If you want to hide metadata in your git repository, look at
https://github.com/spwhitton/git-remote-gcrypt

If you want to hide that data locally, look at
https://github.com/roddhjav/pass-tomb

Lenz
