Storing Git Credentials

There are two ways to store git credentials. One is temporary and the other permanent. You can store your git credentials unencrypted on disk forever or in cache memory temporarily.

Temporary. Store for 15 minutes.

git config credential.helper 'cache --timeout=900'

git config credential.helper 'cache --timeout=900'

Permanent.

git config credential.helper store
git push http://example.com/repo.git
Username: <type your username>
Password: <type your password>

git config credential.helper store git push http://example.com/repo.git Username: <type your username> Password: <type your password>

Next time you use git, you will not be prompted for a password.

About Me

I'm Ulysses, a Cloud Engineer at Cardinal Health based in Columbus, Ohio. I’m a certified AWS Solutions Architect. This website is my way of documenting the things I have learned in the Cloud. When off the grid, I enjoy riding my electric skateboard. I have surfed, snowboarded and played the saxophone in the past. I hope you will find this site helpful. It's powered by WordPress and hosted in AWS LightSail.
