Windows implementation of passwordstore in pure batch

[Kenny Evitt]

Nice job! Windows batch is a tough language to 'use in anger'! Bash isn't
easy either, but Windows Batch is a whole 'nother level of pain-in-the-ass:

Pass DOES work in the Ubuntu app on Windows (formerly Bash on Ubuntu on
Windows, and several other names before that) but I couldn't implement
clipboard support *nicely*. Jason, the creator and maintainer of Pass,
didn't like the changes I came up with – they ARE ugly.

But, in case you or anyone else is interested, I maintain a 'soft fork'
with those changes on GitHub:

for Bash on Ubuntu on Windows
