Tipps & Tricks

SSH

To pass the password to the ssh password promt you need another tool, too: sshpass .

Obvious way

$ pass -c Customers/CustomerA/myuser@sshhost
$ ssh myuser@sshhost
Password:<paste the copied password>
myuser@sshhost:~$

Cooler way

Create the password entry

Put only the password at the first line (needed for sshpass).

$ pass edit Customers/CustomerA/myuser@sshhost

Create an alias

$ alias customer-sshhost='sshpass -f <(pass Customers/CustomerA/myuser@sshhost) ssh myuser@sshhost'

Use it

$ customer-sshhost
myuser@sshhost:~$
