## Project history and usage

enpass-cli is a Go command-line client for the Enpass password manager, exposing vault listing, password display, copy, creation, editing, trash, restore, and delete operations.

### Project history

The hazcod/enpass-cli repository was created in September 2016. The README describes it as a command-line utility for Enpass and documents compiled binaries from the GitHub releases page.

### Adoption history

The input package metadata lists Homebrew and Nix packages. Homebrew currently tracks the v1.12.0 GitHub source archive.

### How it is used

Users point the CLI at an Enpass vault with -vault=PATH and can pass -keyfile=PATH for a vault keyfile. Commands include list, show, copy, pass, create, edit, trash, restore, delete, dryrun, version, and help.

### Why package nerds care

The package is notable for password-manager users who want scriptable terminal access to Enpass data while keeping the vault path explicit rather than storing a documented global configuration file.

### Timeline

- 2020: v1.0 published on GitHub releases
