pinentry-bash

This utility is bash implementation of gpg pinentry program.

The PINEntry is a PIN or passphrase entry dialogs which utilize the Assuan protocol as specified in the Libassuan manual [1]. You can find the upstream pinentry collection here [2].

This implementation only uses bash and yad [3] to display dialogs. But this implementation can easily be changed to another dialog display program.

Many thanks to Dale Phurrough for the idea. This implementation is inspired by his pinentry implementation for WSL [4].
