Bitwarden CLI
Full read/write vault access via bw command.
Prerequisites
bash
brew install bitwarden-cli
bw login <email> # one-time, prompts for master password
Session Management
Bitwarden requires an unlocked session. Use the helper script:
bash
source scripts/bw-session.sh <master_password>
# Sets BW_SESSION env var
Or manually:
bash
export BW_SESSION=$(echo '<password>' | bw unlock --raw)
bw sync # always sync after unlock
Common Operations
Retrieve credentials
bash
bw get password "Site Name"
bw get username "Site Name"
bw get item "Site Name" --pretty | jq '.login'
Create login
bash
bw get template item | jq '
.type = 1 |
.name = "Site Name" |
.login.username = "user@email.com" |
.login.password = "secret123" |
.login.uris = [{uri: "https://example.com"}]
' | bw encode | bw create item
Create credit card
bash
bw get template item | jq '
.type = 3 |
.name = "Card Name" |
.card.cardholderName = "John Doe" |
.card.brand = "Visa" |
.card.number = "4111111111111111" |
.card.expMonth = "12" |
.card.expYear = "2030" |
.card.code = "123"
' | bw encode | bw create item
Get card for payment automation
bash
bw get item "Card Name" | jq -r '.card | "\(.number) \(.expMonth)/\(.expYear) \(.code)"'
List items
bash
bw list items | jq -r '.[] | "\(.type)|\(.name)"'
# Types: 1=login, 2=note, 3=card, 4=identity
Search
bash
bw list items --search "vilaviniteca" | jq '.[0]'
Item Types
| Type | Value | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Login | 1 | Website credentials |
| Secure Note | 2 | Freeform text |
| Card | 3 | Credit/debit cards |
| Identity | 4 | Personal info |

Tips
- Always sync after creating/editing items:
bw sync - Session expires — re-unlock if you get auth errors
- Delete sensitive messages after receiving credentials
- Card numbers may not import from other managers (security restriction)
