`pass insert {{path/to/data}}`

- copy a password (first line of the data file) to the clipboard

`pass -c {{path/to/data}}`

- list the whole store tree

`pass`

- generate a new random password with a given length, and copy it to the clipboard

`pass generate -c {{path/to/data}} {{num}}`

- run any git command against the underlying store repository

`pass git {{git-arguments}}`
