From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Pass uses GPG and git under the hood.
You create keys to encrypt your data, and keep the encrypted data in git locally which can be cloned to github, gitlab and the like.
It's just files on your computer, so you can back them up that way, or use a thumb drive as a remote git repo and push to it.
Day to day Type pass and tab complete to find the entry. Enter the command and be prompted to unlock it. It will then print the credentials to the terminal.
To create a new password, you type and add command followed by a name and a text editor opens up for you to type credentials in, or it can generate them for you.
To keep your backup up to date you just git push to the remote of your choice. I use github
