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
|
||
|
|
linkgit: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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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'
|
||
|
