## 项目历史与用法

gauth is a small command-line authenticator for time-based one-time passwords. Its README frames the project as a terminal replacement for Google Authenticator.

### 项目历史

The official GitHub repository was created in 2013 and is maintained as a Go command-line tool. The README documents installation through Homebrew or `go install`, a plain text account file, optional OpenSSL-based encryption, and compatibility reports for common services.

### 采用历史

Official adoption evidence is modest and mostly visible through packaging and repository activity. The tool is packaged by Homebrew and Alpine, and the README invites users to report additional service compatibility results.

### 使用方式

Users store one secret per line in `~/.config/gauth.csv` using `name:secret` entries or otpauth URLs, restrict file permissions, and run `gauth` to display previous, current, and next codes. The CLI also supports printing a single key, bare output for scripting, adding and removing keys, and retrieving an account secret.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

gauth matters to package-manager users as a deliberately small security CLI: one binary plus a user-managed local secrets file. It represents the Unix preference for inspectable text configuration and shell-friendly output in a domain often dominated by mobile apps.

### 时间线

- 2013: The official GitHub repository was created.
- 2010s: The README documented use with Homebrew, Go installation, and multiple online services.
- 2020s: The project remains available as a packaged Go TOTP CLI.

### Related projects

- The README points users who need to interpret QR codes toward gauthQR. The project is conceptually related to Google Authenticator-compatible TOTP tools and the otpauth URI format.
