Nice one. Very informative and helpful.

From the name of the video I was expecting a tutorial on how to use the UNIX pass command to manage passwords. Please make a video on this, especially how to backup the pass password without using git, and restore the backed up passwords.

I'll look into it and consider doing a video. I've always used gpg to accomplish this.
