gopass on a new system

I find gopass to be a great password and credential manager; it's replacee pass in my workflow. These are notes on how to bring over passwords managed by it to a new macOS system.

Bring over your desired GNUPG2 configuration.
If GNUPG2 isn't already present:

$ sudo port install gnupg2
$ sudo port install pinentry-mac

# If not present already, configure gpg-agent to use pinentry-mac
$ PE="pinentry-program /Applications/MacPorts/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac"
$ echo "$PE" >> ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

Install gopass per the instructions on their site.
Make tweaks to deal with current macOS issues:

$ git config --global gpg.program $(which gpg2)
$ echo "no-tty" >>~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

Grab the passwords stored in the repo:

$ gopass clone git@bitbucket.org:MaDeuce/gopass.git

Test it out:

$ gopass
$ gopass foo.com/password
