NAME¶
git-credential-store - Helper to store credentials on diskSYNOPSIS¶
git config credential.helper 'store [options]'
DESCRIPTION¶
OPTIONS¶
--file=<path>Use <path> to store credentials. The file will have
its filesystem permissions set to prevent other users on the system from
reading it, but will not be encrypted or otherwise protected. Defaults to
~/.git-credentials.
EXAMPLES¶
The point of this helper is to reduce the number of times you must type your username or password. For example:$ git config credential.helper store $ git push http://example.com/repo.git Username: <type your username> Password: <type your password> [several days later] $ git push http://example.com/repo.git [your credentials are used automatically]
STORAGE FORMAT¶
The .git-credentials file is stored in plaintext. Each credential is stored on its own line as a URL like: When Git needs authentication for a particular URL context, credential-store will consider that context a pattern to match against each entry in the credentials file. If the protocol, hostname, and username (if we already have one) match, then the password is returned to Git. See the discussion of configuration in gitcredentials(7) for more information.GIT¶
