revault-cli 1.0.0

CLI password manager for server credentials with SSH connector

Author was lost in a sea of server credentials, brain.exe could not handle so much info Wrote a password manager to store server credentails(Yes, ENCRYPTED) then thought why should I connect. so re-valut connect myserver :)

Install

macOS (Homebrew)

brew tap sufi-an/re-vault
brew install re-vault

Linux / macOS (pip / pipx)

# pipx keeps it isolated (recommended)
pipx install revault-cli

# or plain pip
pip install revault-cli

Then use re-vault instead of python cli.py:

re-vault add myserver
re-vault connect myserver

apt install: Not yet in official Debian/Ubuntu repos (that process takes months). Use pip/pipx on Linux for now.

---

Windows .exe

Quick test (run on your Windows machine):

build.bat
dist\passkeeper.exe add myserver

Automated releases: push a version tag and GitHub Actions builds + attaches the exe to the release automatically.

How to use

Install

pip install -r requirements.txt

Commands

Each command prompts for your master password (it is never stored). The vault lives at ~/.passkeeper/vault.json and is locked to your user account on both Unix (chmod 0o600) and Windows (icacls).

Command	What it does
python cli.py add <identifier>	Prompt for username + password and store them encrypted under <identifier>.
python cli.py show <identifier>	Decrypt and print the username + password.
python cli.py list	List all stored identifiers.
python cli.py connect <identifier>	Decrypt the entry and SSH in, auto-sending the password (works on Unix and Windows).
python cli.py remove <identifier>	Delete a stored entry permanently.

Example

# Store credentials for a server (username should be the full SSH target, e.g. user@host)
$ python cli.py add myserver
Master password:
Username: deploy@198.51.100.10
Password:
Entry 'myserver' added successfully!

# Look them up later
$ python cli.py show myserver
Master password:
Username: deploy@198.51.100.10
Password: ...

# List everything you've stored
$ python cli.py list
Stored entries:
- myserver

# Connect over SSH without typing the password (Unix/macOS/Windows)
$ python cli.py connect myserver

Note: On Unix/macOS connect uses pexpect to drive the system ssh binary. On Windows it uses paramiko to connect directly — no external ssh binary needed.
