It seems to be a misnomer on OP's part, they's also said about switching to 'gnu pass' in previous comments, but needing to get their head around GPG...
I suspect rather than suggesting it's a GNU project, OP is creating a sort of portmanteau from GnuPG and pass.

- silpol 3y agoactually Bruce Byfield explains it in Linux Magazine: Pass is available in the repositories of most major distributions. As usual, you can also compile from scratch, but, if you do, take note of the dependencies, especially GnuPG (GPG) [6], which creates encryption keys, and Password Generator (pwgen) [7], which generates random passwords that contain random combinations of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Without GnuPG and pwgen, you will be unable to set up Pass, much less actually use it. https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2014/158/Command-Line-Pass https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2014/158/Command-Line-...
