keepass-diff

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

Installation

cargo install keepass-diff

Usage

keepass-diff <file-a> <file-b>

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

Providing passwords

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):

keepass-diff <file-a> <file-b> --password-a <password-a> --password-b <password-b>

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

keepass-diff <file-a> <file-b> --passwords <password>

Providing keyfiles

keepass-diff <file-a> <file-b> --keyfile-a <keyfile-a> --keyfile-b <keyfile-b>

If one of these flags is provided, it will use the keyfile for authentication. It will still ask for a password, if the password flags are not provided.

Disabling color output for scripts

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:

* [rpassword](https://github.com/conradkdotcom/rpassword) to read the passwords.
* [keepass](https://github.com/sseemayer/keepass-rs) to read `.kdbx` files.
* [termcolor](https://github.com/BurntSushi/termcolor) to print with colors.
