Bitwarden CLI Utils

Overview

Simple wrapper for the Bitwarden CLI to allow for easy retrieval and (eventually) management of credentials.

The project is written in TypeScript and compiled with declarations to a target of ES2015.

Security

Security of your Bitwarden Username and Password should be a big deal, that's the keys to the kingdom!

BitwardenUser manages the sessionKey returned from a successful login for you for convenience. Any subsequent commands will append the --session option to the command so you don't have to worry about handling it.
