git-credential-cache(1)


NAME

   git-credential-cache - Helper to temporarily store passwords in memory

SYNOPSIS

   git config credential.helper 'cache [options]'

DESCRIPTION

   This command caches credentials in memory for use by future Git
   programs. The stored credentials never touch the disk, and are
   forgotten after a configurable timeout. The cache is accessible over a
   Unix domain socket, restricted to the current user by filesystem
   permissions.

   You probably don't want to invoke this command directly; it is meant to
   be used as a credential helper by other parts of Git. See
   gitcredentials(7) or EXAMPLES below.

OPTIONS

   --timeout <seconds>
       Number of seconds to cache credentials (default: 900).

   --socket <path>
       Use <path> to contact a running cache daemon (or start a new cache
       daemon if one is not started). Defaults to
       ~/.git-credential-cache/socket. If your home directory is on a
       network-mounted filesystem, you may need to change this to a local
       filesystem. You must specify an absolute path.

CONTROLLING THE DAEMON

   If you would like the daemon to exit early, forgetting all cached
   credentials before their timeout, you can issue an exit action:

       git credential-cache exit

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 cache
       $ git push http://example.com/repo.git
       Username: <type your username>
       Password: <type your password>

       [work for 5 more minutes]
       $ git push http://example.com/repo.git
       [your credentials are used automatically]

   You can provide options via the credential.helper configuration
   variable (this example drops the cache time to 5 minutes):

       $ git config credential.helper 'cache --timeout=300'

Free Software


Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
