About prs
prs is a terminal password manager written in Rust. Secrets are encrypted with GPG, and Git is used to synchronise the password store automatically across machines. It includes a password generator, recipient management, history tracking with rollbacks, housekeeping utilities, Tomb support and temporary copying to the clipboard.
It is heavily inspired by pass and uses the same file structure, so it works alongside pass and other compatible clients, extensions and migration scripts. It suits people already comfortable with GPG and Git who want a faster, friendlier command-line tool.
