gopass - Getting a new home

When we started gopass we had no idea how the response would be. While we were convinced that we started something useful, we didn’t know how many people outside our organization felt the same.

More than a year has passed and we learned that a lot of people seem to interested in gopass:

• over 1700 GitHub Stars
• lot’s of contributors
• over 300 issues

Also we learned through conversations with users that gopass is used in a lot of teams.

gopass is very cool! And nice to see it use go-git. Will be switching to this. @gofernanda_ this is also great for @sourcedtech internal account management

And while we believe that gopass will have a great future at JustWatch we still wanted to ensure that gopass can prosper with or without company support.

Thus we decided to move gopass and it’s accompanying projects - like gopassbridge - to it’s own GitHub Organization: gopasspw.

This makes it easier to setup appropriate teams and permissions without corporate GitHub restrictions.
