encpass.sh VS pass-tomb

The difficulties mentioned in the article with passing secrets on the command line is one of the reasons why we wrote encpass.sh (https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh). We had a similar need for a lightweight solution for managing secrets for simple shell scripts on our local workstations and in restricted environments. Bonus, it can be easily customized with extension scripts to adapt functions for your own specific needs. See our keybase extension for an example -> https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh/blob/master/extensions/...

We made an extension for encpass.sh that stores secrets in Keybase (https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh/blob/master/extensions/...) if that sort of thing is of interest to you. Outside of personal secrets, it can be used as a sort of low cost stand in for shared secrets that you might use something like Vault for in a team environment.

By itself, Passwordstore will not encrypt file names or directory names, which might not be a problem if no one else has access to the machine that hosts your git repo, but if that's not the case (even if it's a private repo on whatever platform), you might want to use either Tomb or git-crypt-remote to have full end-to-end encryption. There are even some tools that glue tomb and pass together (https://github.com/roddhjav/pass-tomb for one), though I'm not sure what's the situation is like when it comes to mobile integration with tomb/git-crypt-remote.

That can of course be fixed by using pass-tomb, but that isn’t implemented in mobile clients (at least not on iOS).

A plug-in called pass-tomb exists to fix this, but doesn’t work with mobile apps (a least not iOS)
