simplify keychain access example

[dlo]

There's no need for ruby execution--security has a flag to output the password only (-w).

Cool, thanks.

hey guys, just a heads up that the command proposed by @dlo is not working for me on mountain lion. the original one works well.

I'm on mountain lion and it seems to run without a problem. What security
version are you running?

weird. I couldn't find a version number for the security command.

here's what's happening:

➜ security 2>&1 >/dev/null find-generic-password -gs github.password password: "---edited---" ➜ security 2>&1 >/dev/null find-generic-password -gs github.password -w ➜

maybe something to do with -w directing to stdout that's being directed to /dev/null?

You know, that's definitely the problem. Taking out the >/dev/null will fix it.
