keepass-diff

This CLI-tool diffs two Keepass (.kdbx) files and prints their differences.

Usage

cargo run <file-a> <file-b>

The CLI will ask for the password for both files individually.

You can also provide one or both passwords on the command line (please be aware that this will expose them to other users logged on to the system):

cargo run -- <file-a> <file-b> --password-a <password-a> --password-b <password-b>

(the -- is necessary for cargo to pass the arguments through to keepass-diff)

If the files have the same password, you can use the --passwords <password> flag. Be aware this has the same problem as above:

cargo run -- <file-a> <file-b> --passwords <password>

If you want to pipe the output of the command into another file or script, you may want to disable the terminal colors. You can do so with the --no-color or -C flag.

--help yields:

USAGE:
    keepass-diff [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <INPUT-A> <INPUT-B>

FLAGS:

    -C, --no-color    Disables color output
    -V, --version     Prints version information

OPTIONS:
        --password-a <password-a>    Sets the password for the first file (will be asked for if omitted)
        --password-b <password-b>    Sets the password for the second file (will be asked for if omitted)
        --passwords <passwords>      Sets the password for both files (if it's the same for both files)

ARGS:
    <INPUT-A>    Sets the first file
    <INPUT-B>    Sets the second file

Used libraries:

• clap to read command line arguments
• rpassword to read the passwords.
• keepass to read .kdbx files.
• termcolor to print with colors.
