Usage
You can get started simply opening your database.
# opens the interactive editor keydex open ~/example.kdbx
However, the most common use case for keydex is copying a password to your clipboard.
# copies password from the referenced entry (or stdinput) keydex copy ~/example.kdbx /example/group/entry
Using environment variables and aliases you can save a couple of keystrokes
# ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc export KEYDEX_PASSPHRASE=${MY_SECRET_PHRASE} export KEYDEX_DATABASE=~/example.kdbx alias entry-pwd="keydex copy /example/group/entry" # and then you can use it like $ entry-pwd
Opening a given entry and listing accept environment variables too.
# opens the editor at the given location keydex open /example/group/entry # lists all the entries in the database keydex list
Interoperability
keydex was designed to integrate in your existing workflow: it accepts inputs from stdin and can be piped to your existing toolchain.
For example, here's an of how you can use it to browse entries with fzf
# copy entry's password selected with fzf to the clipboard keydex list | fzf | keydex copy
