33 Shell Plugins and Counting!

Archival copy of an article originally published on 1Password Blog. All content written by Jason Harris.


I’m always amazed at just how quickly the developer community gets things done. Case in point: Just weeks after we launched 1Password Shell Plugins, we’re now 33 plugins strong… 14 of which were built by you, the developer community. 🤯

Shell Plugins enable one-touch access to command-line interfaces (CLIs). 1Password embraced an open-source model with Shell Plugins, so anyone can write a Shell Plugin for their most-loved CLI and include them in future releases of the 1Password CLI. Within days of the Shell Plugins announcement, we received half a dozen contributions!

We’re thrilled that there are now 33 Shell Plugins spanning AWS, GitHub, Okta, Stripe, Snyk, Tugboat and more!
