Hi all!
Thanks for the help!
I did it.
Copied ~/.password-store to the new operating system, then did steps
described here:

Run the following commands on your original system:
# review the man pages, see the environment variables that might impact your
usage
$ man --pager=cat pass | grep PASSWORD_STORE
# check your local environment for details of anything you might have changed
$ env | grep PASSWORD_STORE
# get a rough idea of the most important files related to your password store
# (assuming default directories, etc)
$ du -sh .password-store/ .gnupg/
PasswordStore is "just" files in a directory that are encrypted by gpg:
$ gpg --decrypt ~/.password-store/rames/example.com.gpg
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit RSA key, ID XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, created 20XX-XX-XX
"Robert Ames (20XX-ubuntu-XXXXX) <[email protected]>"
ExamplePassword
username: [email protected]
...you should just be able to bundle up the directory and transfer it to your
new system:
$ tar -czvf password-bundle.tgz ~/.password-store
$ tar -czvf gpg-bundle.tgz ~/.gnupg
Transfer, untar (must use `tar` / `*.tgz` in order to preserve permissions!
sometimes gpg/ssh are picky about that):
$ tar -xvf password-bundle.tgz gpg-bundle.tgz
...usually "dotfiles" (files that begin with a '.' period) are hidden from
directory listings by default.
Verify they were transferred correctly via "ls -a" or "find":
$ ls -la ~/.password-store ~/.gnupg
$ find ~/.password-store -type f ; find ~/.gnupg -type f
Verify you can still use gpg directly to manipulate them (you may need `apt
install password-store gpg` or `apt list | grep ^gpg` or similar)
$ gpg --decrypt ~/.password-store/rames/example.com.gpg
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit RSA key, ID XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, created 20XX-XX-XX
"Robert Ames (20XX-ubuntu-XXXXX) <[email protected]>"
ExamplePassword
username: [email protected]
...any problems here, you'll need to make sure you figure your gpg-keys out
(~/.gnupg).
Then you should be able to run `pass ls | grep ...`, `pass show ...` and verify
it's working well for you.
Also remember to keep track of your `~/.ssh` keys, or be prepared to re-create
and re-distribute new ones.
Best of luck!

Hi,
I have installed password-store on my Xubuntu operating system.
I must to migrate to the other operating system, namely Ubuntu on an
other machine.
How can I do that?
