git-credential-store(1)


NAME

   git-credential-store - Helper to store credentials on disk

SYNOPSIS

   git config credential.helper 'store [options]'

DESCRIPTION

       Note
       Using this helper will store your passwords unencrypted on disk,
       protected only by filesystem permissions. If this is not an
       acceptable security tradeoff, try git-credential-cache(1), or find
       a helper that integrates with secure storage provided by your
       operating system.

   This command stores credentials indefinitely on disk for use by future
   Git programs.

   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

   --file=<path>
       Use <path> to lookup and 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.
       If not specified, credentials will be searched for from
       ~/.git-credentials and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials, and
       credentials will be written to ~/.git-credentials if it exists, or
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials if it exists and the former does
       not. See also the section called "FILES".

FILES

   If not set explicitly with --file, there are two files where
   git-credential-store will search for credentials in order of
   precedence:

   ~/.git-credentials
       User-specific credentials file.

   $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials
       Second user-specific credentials file. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not
       set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/credentials will be used. Any
       credentials stored in this file will not be used if
       ~/.git-credentials has a matching credential as well. It is a good
       idea not to create this file if you sometimes use older versions of
       Git that do not support it.

   For credential lookups, the files are read in the order given above,
   with the first matching credential found taking precedence over
   credentials found in files further down the list.

   Credential storage will by default write to the first existing file in
   the list. If none of these files exist, ~/.git-credentials will be
   created and written to.

   When erasing credentials, matching credentials will be erased from all
   files.

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:

       https://user:pass@example.com

   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.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.



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.
