Assuming you have the following structure in your repository:

└── work
     └── foo.gpg

with

     $ pass home/foo
     1234
     $ pass work/foo
     4321

Then you can do set the environment variables like this:

     $ export PASSWORD_STORE_GIT=~/.password-store
     $ export PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=~/.password-store/home
     $ pass foo
     1234
     $ export PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=~/.password-store/work
     $ pass foo
     4321
I don't think that addresses the question, because it's assuming that all the passwords are in the same git repo.

What I think the OP wants (it's certainly what I want!) is to have multiple git repos, so I can sync my home passwords to one repo and my work passwords to another one:

.password-store
├── home
│   └── .git
│   └── foo.gpg
└── work
    └── .git
    └── foo.gpg

This doesn't work, for reasons which you'll find in the list archives. Briefly, "pass git pull" doesn't work unless the top-level is a git repo. But if you make an outer git repo, and make the inner ones be submodules, pass fails to commit changes because its working directory is not inside the correct submodule.

The only sensible way I've found to make this work is using shell scripts or aliases: e.g. create a script called "workpass" like this

#!/bin/sh
PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=/Users/brian/git/work-pass/password-store pass "$@"

However I've been bitten several times by accidentally using "pass edit foo" or (worse) "pass init <ids>" when I meant to type "workpass edit foo" or "workpass init <ids>"

For me, the perfect solution would be:

* the .password-store tree can have zero or more git repos, in any place
* "pass edit foo/bar" would commit to the git repo which contains foo/bar (or none, if it's outside any git tree)
* "pass pull foo/bar" would git pull the repo which contains foo/bar
* "pass pull" would git pull all the repos recursively

Brian.
