bw: Display a particular item from Bitwarden vault.
$ bw get item ${github}
try on your machine
The command "bw get item ${github}" is using a command line tool called "bw" to retrieve an item from a password manager.
Here's a breakdown of what each part of the command does:
- "bw": This is the command itself, which is the name of the program that needs to be executed. In this case, it refers to the "bw" command line tool.
- "get item": This is an argument passed to the "bw" command, specifying that the tool should retrieve an item from the password manager.
- "${github}": This is a placeholder or variable that represents the name or identifier of the item to be retrieved. It is denoted by the syntax "${...}". In this case, it seems to refer to an item related to GitHub, which might be a username or a password stored in the password manager.
To execute this command, you would replace "${github}" with the actual name or identifier of the item related to GitHub that you want to retrieve.
