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 `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/git/credential/socket` unless - `~/.git-credential-cache/` exists in which case - `~/.git-credential-cache/socket` is used instead. - If your home directory is on a network-mounted filesystem, you - may need to change this to a local filesystem. You must specify - an absolute path. - -CONTROLLING THE DAEMON ----------------------- - -If you would like the daemon to exit early, forgetting all cached -credentials before their timeout, you can issue an `exit` action: - --------------------------------------- -git credential-cache exit --------------------------------------- - -EXAMPLES --------- - -The point of this helper is to reduce the number of times you must type -your username or password. For example: - ------------------------------------- -$ 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' -------------------------------------------------------- - -GIT ---- -Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
