Description

Hi,

the README currently says:
"pass needs to be configured for docker-credential-pass to work properly. It must be initialized with a gpg2 key ID. Make sure your GPG key exists is in gpg2 keyring as pass uses gpg2 instead of the regular gpg."

However, I could not find any documentation whatsoever on the initialization. There doesn't seem to be a docker-credentials-pass init command? It would be helpful to actually document the steps how to initialize the pass store.

(I can create a pull request for README changes once I figure out how to actually do the initialization)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the initialization guidance in the README and the references to docker-credential-pass, pass, and the gpg2 key ID. Determine the documented steps for initializing the pass store, then update the README so users can follow them and understand that no docker-credential-pass init command is required.
