Hi there, welcome to my space.

Introduction Your Bitwarden vault contains (hopefully) all of your passwords and other sensitive data, so it would be good to have a backup of it in case something goes wrong.

Prerequisites Bitwarden account PGP key pair (optional but recommended) Todoist account and API key (optional) Bitwarden CLI setup Downloading and installing Bitwarden CLI The Bitwarden CLI tool is available for download on the Bitwarden website....

The first solution that might come to mind is to just close the terminal emulator and create another one, but there is a better way....

Problem I recently needed to download an artifact from a Jenkins build to my remote dev machine. The remote machine has access to the Jenkins controller, so I just ran wget with the link. $ wget https://jenkins.local/job/.../artifact/my_artifact.tar.gz I got this back: HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden 2023-04-02 17:43:27 ERROR 403: Forbidden.
