Integration with Android
The GnuPG implementation for Android is called OpenKeychain. To configure it, just go to the "key management" menu and import the previously created secret key. The only drawback of OpenKeychain for me personally is that there is no fingerprint unlocking.
The pass implementation for Android is called android-password-store, or simply APS.
Install and launch APS. Before synchronizing the password store, go to the "Settings" menu. There we will need the following items:
Git server settings. The resulting URL should be the same as that specified on the repository page on github. Authorization type -OpenKeychain.Git utils. In this section, specify the username and email from the gpg key.OpenPGP provider. SelectOpenKeychain.Autofill.Now you can clone. Select "clone from server" on the main screen, specify the desired location of the repository, check the git settings.
Of course, pass is not that easy to set up. However, this price buys confidence that the tools we use will not one day be declared obsolete, will not change their data format, and will not be left without support.
