bw: Create a folder in Bitwarden vault.
$ ${echo -n '{"name":"My Folder1"}' | base64} | bw create folder
try on your machine
This command is a combination of two separate commands, connected together using a pipe symbol (|).
First command: ${echo -n '{"name":"My Folder1"}' | base64}
- The text
echo -n '{"name":"My Folder1"}'
is used to print the string{"name":"My Folder1"}
to the standard output. - The
echo
command is used to print text, and the-n
flag prevents the trailing newline character. - The output of the
echo
command is then piped (|) to thebase64
command. - The
base64
command is used to encode the input text (in this case,{"name":"My Folder1"}
) into base64 format. - The output of this whole command is a base64-encoded string.
Second command: bw create folder
- This command is related to the Bitwarden password manager application.
- The
bw create folder
command is used to create a new folder in your Bitwarden account. - The previous command (base64-encoded string) is passed as input to this command using the pipe symbol (|).
- The base64-encoded string represents the name of the folder to be created.
- The Bitwarden application decodes the base64 string and creates a new folder with the specified name.
So, the entire command is used to create a new folder in Bitwarden with the name "My Folder1".
