I have used "pass" and liked it. It's a command-line tool, written in
Bash language, and it stores passwords as separate gpg-encrypted files
in ~/.password-store. <https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/password-store>.
Pass has a Git support but I have never used that. The basic usage is to
search for named password which can be copied to clipboard. The
clipboard is automatically cleared after 20 (or so, I don't remember).

There are a couple things in pass's user interface that I don't like so
I wrote my own Bash script which is compatible with pass's storage. I
have two Linux computers and I use Unison to sync password directory
(and many other files) between them.
