`gopass` in Windows `%PATH%`
Author: KodiakK-bitCreated Sep 2, 2026Updated Sep 11, 2026
Request to include gopass in the Windows %PATH%.
Installation via Winget does not add gopass to the %PATH%, which makes using it via the shell (cmd) more difficult.
Installation: winget install gopass.gopass
Related issue: comment
Installation by downloaded installer not tested.
Other examples
Apps obtained via WinGet like curl.curl, filosottile.age (pkg), rclone.rclone (pkg), helix.helix, and zyedidia.micro (pkg) update the %PATH% and work normally in the shell.
They live in C:\Users\\\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\...:

%LocalAppData%\gopasswinget v1.17.0
Is there an estimated timeframe for making the new release v1.17.0 of gopass available via Winget?
