  this will install the tool at ${GOBIN} dir(usually ~/go/bin)

• Usage

    kpcli --version
  

setup env vars

export KDBX_KEYFILE="./tmp/master-db.key"
export KDBX_DATABASE="./tmp/master-db.kdbx"
export KDBX_PASSWORD="super_secret"
export BACKUP_DIR="./bkups"
export DATABASE_BACKUP="${BACKUP_DIR}/master-db.kdbx"

create database

syntax: kpcli
--keyfile {keyfile}
--name {xyx.kdbx}
--pass {password to encrypt/decrypt kdbx}
create

eg: 1

bin/kpcli \
    --keyfile ${KDBX_KEYFILE} \
    --database ${KDBX_DATABASE} \
    --pass ${KDBX_PASSWORD} \
    create

list entries

syntax:

./kpcli --keyfile <keyfile> \
        --database <database-filename> \
    ls  [--reverse] [--days 10] [--sort-by-col 1|2|3|4]
        ; --reverse -> reverse order
        ; --sort-by-col N
            1 -> title
            2 -> history count
            3 -> creation time
            4 -> mod time
        ; --days 10 --> shows entries created or modified in the last 10 days

eg: 1

bin/kpcli \
    --keyfile ${KDBX_KEYFILE} \
    --database ${KDBX_DATABASE} \
    --pass ${KDBX_PASSWORD} \
    ls 

eg: 2

kpcli ls --sortby-col 4 -d 2
    ; shows entries modified in last 2 days ORDER by col 4(modified time)

diff databases

example

bin/kpcli \
    --keyfile ${KDBX_KEYFILE} \
    --database ${KDBX_DATABASE} \
    --pass ${KDBX_PASSWORD} \
    diff \
        --database2 ${DATABASE_BACKUP}

output

    Running diff between
        ${DATABASE_BACKUP} and
        ${KDBX_DATABASE}

    here are the diffs:
    ${BACKUP_DIR}/master-db.kdbx to ./tmp/master-db.kdbx
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    (removed)  Root/example entry 1
    ( added )  Root/example entry 2
    ( added )  Root/example entry 3

steps

1. List all entries from ${KDBX_DATABASE} to ./database1.out
2. List all entries from ${DATABASE_BACKUP} to ./database2.out
3. Run a diff between ./database1.out and ./database2.out
