Work and Personal password store

pass the standard unix password manager stores passwords in one directory (default one is ~/.password-store). You can create another seprate store by running following command:

$ PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=$HOME/.path/to/another/store pass init pgp@key.id

New password stores can contain new set of gpg keys.

For quicker access to new store without using (reverse-i-search) you can create an alias

$ alias personal_pass='PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=/home/username/.path/to/another/store pass'

Or create a script in folder that is in your $PATH
~/.local/bin/personal_pass:

$ pass init pgp@key.id
$ pass git init

After this all password changes make a new commit, to update or get latest data from remote you can use following commands.

$ pass git push
$ pass git pull
