Simple encrypted password storage

sala - encrypted plaintext password store

Passwords are stored in a directory hierarchy, each file containing one secret.

Commands:

sala init

Initialize a password store

sala get FILE...

Read secret(s)

sala set FILE...

Create or modify secret(s)

sala FILE...

Read or modify, depending on whether the first file exists or not
