Nupass refactor 20230501 (#473)
* Refactor nupass.nu Major refactor for more flexibility To allow number of words to be specified, one solution is to add random words, symbols, & numbers to lists, then operate on the lists. You can combine lists with the ++ operator, then use shuffle on them, as well as various other methods. * Update ReadMe.md Updated to match latest version, adding some new sample commands Last version `nupass 4` meant "generate password with 3 words of length <=4". This version `nupass 4` means "generate password with 4 words". Length can be specified with `-l`, so: `nupass 4 -l 8` means "generate password with 4 words of length <=8". * Update ReadMe.md Screenshot showing new version's output

# Nushell Password Generator "nupass"
|

|

This nushell command randomly retrieves three words from a dictionary file (English with Japanese words added by @rickcogley) less than or equal to a given parameter's length, formats the words randomly with capitalization, then separates the words with some random symbols and numbers to return a password.

I've been scripting for quite a long time, but not in nu. Input appreciated to make this more nu-esque!

I've been scripting for quite a long time, but not in nu. Input appreciated to make this more nu-esque! The script is in a decent place as of the 20230501 version.

|

Obviously you can just use the `random chars` or `random integers` commands but I like to have words I can read in my passwords, and I think those generated by this script have sufficient entropy.
