You will need a Git client that is at least version 1.7.10
or later, as these have support for credential.helper
.
To get your Git client to remember your username and password, and avoid re-entering it every time you access your repository over HTTPS, you can issue the following command to your Git client:
git config --global credential.helper cache
If you wanted Git to remember it for longer, you can do so by specifying a --timeout=
:
git config --global credential.helper "cache --timeout=3600"
There are a few credential.helper
implementations that can integrate directly with your operating system, and you may
wish to try these as well:
Platform | Tool |
---|---|
Windows | Windows Credential Store for Git |
Mac OS X | Using a Git client installed from homebrew : git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain |
Linux | Gnome Keyring |
