Bitwarden ​

Bitwarden Secrets Manager holds the organizations' shared credentials. a-novel repo update reads them through bws, its CLI.

Install ​

Skip to Configure if this prints a version:

bash
bws --version
bash
curl -fsSL https://bws.bitwarden.com/install | sh

Configure ​

Ask another sysadmin for an access token, and whether the organization uses Bitwarden's US or EU cloud. On the EU cloud:

bash
bws config server-base https://vault.bitwarden.eu

Check the token:

bash
read -rs BWS_ACCESS_TOKEN   # paste the token, then press Enter
export BWS_ACCESS_TOKEN
bws project list
unset BWS_ACCESS_TOKEN

Once the CLI is installed, store the token in its encrypted store.
