  -u, --get-url         match row starting with 'url:' and extract it (only used with -x)
  -e EXCLUDE_ROWS [EXCLUDE_ROWS ...], --exclude-rows EXCLUDE_ROWS [EXCLUDE_ROWS ...]
                        regexps to exclude from the notes field (only used with -x)

Export format

There are two ways to export CSV data:

1. The format for the KeePass Generic CSV Importer:

   Group(/),Title,Password,Notes
   

   Where 'Password' is the first line of the entry in pass and 'Notes' are all subsequent lines. '\' should not be interpreted as an escape character.

   This is the default mode.

2. The format for the KeePassXC Importer:

   Group(/),Title,Login,Password,URL,Notes
   

   Where 'Password' is the first line of the entry in pass, 'User' is configured with -l, URL is extracted if -u is set, and 'Notes' contains any other fields that do not match -e.

   'User' field is chosen by searching for the first field with a name set by -l. Once the field is found, the login is set and the field is removed from notes.

   Use -x or --kpx to enable this mode.

Example KeePassXC Import

• Cmd line

    pass2csv ~/.password-store -x -l username login email -u -e '^---$'
  

• Password entry (sites/example)

    password123
    ---
    username: user_name
    email: [e-mail]
    url: example.com
    some_note
  

• Output CSV row (formatted)

    sites, example, user_name, password123, example.com, "email: [e-mail]\nsome_note"
  

• user_name was chosen because username was the first argument to -l.

• Both logn and URL fields were excluded from the notes field because they were used in another field.

• --- Was not included in the notes field because it was matched by -e.

Example KeePass Generic CSV Importer

• Cmd line

    pass2csv ~/.password-store
  

• Password entry: Same as above

• Output CSV row (formatted)

    sites, example, password123, "---\nusername: user_name\nemail: [e-mail]\nurl: example.com\nsome_note"
  

Development

Create a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv

Activate the environment:

. venv/bin/activate

Now you may either use pip directly to install the dependencies, or you can install pip-tools. The latter is recommended.

pip

pip install -r requirements.txt

pip-tools

pip-tools can keep your virtual environment in sync with the requirements.txt file, as well as compiling a new requirements.txt when adding/removing a dependency in requirements.in.

It is recommended that pip-tools is installed within the virutal environment.

pip install pip-tools
pip-compile  # only necessary when adding/removing a dependency
pip-sync
