The command "gopass ${select}" is used to select a specific item from the password store managed by the "gopass" command-line password manager.
Here's how it works:
-
The variable "${select}" is a placeholder that represents the name or path of the item you want to select from the password store.
-
When you run the command, the value of "${select}" will be replaced with the actual name or path of the item you want to select.
-
The "gopass" command reads the password store and locates the item with the specified name or path.
-
Once the item is found, "gopass" can perform various actions on it, such as displaying the password, copying it to the clipboard, editing the item details, and more.
For example, if you have an item named "email/password" in your password store and you want to display its password, you can run the command "gopass email/password". The value of "${select}" will be replaced with "email/password", instructing "gopass" to select that specific item.
