bw: Search and display items from Bitwarden vault.
$ bw list items --search ${github}
try on your machine

The command "bw list items --search ${github}" is used to search for specific items within a Bitwarden vault. Here's an explanation of each component:

  • "bw": It is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for Bitwarden, a popular password manager.
  • "list items": This is the subcommand that specifies the action to be performed, which is to list (display) items.
  • "--search": This flag is used to indicate that the search functionality is being used.
  • "${github}": It is a placeholder variable that needs to be replaced with the actual search term. In this case, it is searching for items related to the term "github".

Therefore, when executing the command with the desired search term, it will return a list of items from the Bitwarden vault that match the search term, helping users find specific items stored in their Bitwarden password manager related to GitHub.
