 # doasedit
 a Bash script replacement for sudoedit using doas.
 [Inspired by this Reddit comment.](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/l6y7nv/is_doas_a_good_alternative_to_sudo/gl4hs42?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
+
+## doas.conf
+
+You'll want to configure `doas` such that it doesn't ask for password at every
+line of the script using `doas`. You can accomplish this with either `nopass`
+or `persist`, e.g.:
+```
+# allow users in group 'admin' to use doas without asking for password 
+# (more dangerous)
+permit nopass :admin
+# allow users in group 'admin' to use doas with password, but not asking for
+# some time after first successful authentication
+permit persist :admin
+```
