User:Fstirlitz/store password for burp with libsecret

Warning: burp is obsolete; AUR is managed with git now.

you need to have libsecret installed of course, and a daemon which implements the secret service spec. currently only gnome-keyring does, but ksecretservice will follow (as i am told)

0. put your username in ~/.config/burp/burp.conf
1. execute this command:

   $ secret-tool store --label=AUR target aur

   then type your password
2. put this in your ~/.bashrc:

   alias burp='burp -p `secret-tool lookup target aur`'

3. restart your shell and you're set: from now on burp^AUR will not bother you with password prompts.
