# export & import
fa import --csv-file ./mock/import/sample_data.csv # import credentails from sample_data.csv (the only required condition is that the csv must contain a username & a password column. it can also contain an optional url column. all other fields would be ignored)
fa export --csv-file ./mock/export/sample_export.csv # export credentials to sample_export.csv (this creates/overwrites the file for you).

# configuration
fa config # display the configuration utilized by 'fa'.

# other
fa store add -h # get help for a specific command
fa -V # print the version

installation.

• you'll need a gpg key id/fingerprint. read this blog till step 4.
• goto releases and download the latest version and extract the fa binary.
  • linux: put the binary in /usr/bin/ and run chmod +x /usr/bin/fa. i'm assuming /usr/bin is in your $HOME variable. you can now, run fa init on your terminal.
  • mac: put the binary inside the directory where you store your mac binaries (it has to be on path) and grant it perms to execute itself. i'm sorry, i don't own a mac so i don't know this one for sure.
  • windows: put it anywhere you like, copy it's location and add it to $PATH environment variable and then open command prompt/terminal & run fa init.

if possible! i'll make this easier for future releases.

configuration.

• 'fa' after intialization, stores it's configuration at $HOME/.config/fa/config.toml.

# $HOME/.config/fa/config.toml
# this autogenerated when you run 'fa init'

[store]
base_path = "/home/ayush/personal/fa/allstores/"
default_store = "dibba"

[security]
gpg_fingerprint = "ABCDEF0123456789" # you can also use the full fingerprint

todo.

• use thiserror and tidy up slightly.
• better output and input
• create, remove and default store command.
• remove credential
• import and export (from a csv file)
• better internal data structure instead of Hashmap<K,V>. it might give me more ways to store more information. such as the
  • assocaited websites
  • tags?
  • post implementation note: Credential struct is meh but it works so i'm not complaining :3.
• [ ] copy to clipboard ...i'd add this if i ever planned on making a tui. i don't really need this rn.
• generator
• better ci and possibly arm64/v8 build.

you can always put up a pr solving any of the above todo's or anything that you think is mising. if i think it's good. i'll merge it! just don't make huge changes without creating a discussion first. also, it's nice if you follow conventional commits. it's not a requirement tho but it helps.
