git-credential-cache - Helper to temporarily store passwords in memory
|
|
<A NAME="lbAC"> </A>
|
|
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
git config credential.helper 'cache [<options>]'
|

|
|
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
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.
|
|
<P>
|
|
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 <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+gitcredentials">gitcredentials</A></B>(7) or <B>EXAMPLES</B> below.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>

|
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
--timeout <seconds>
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="1"><DD>
|
|
Number of seconds to cache credentials (default: 900).
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
--socket <path>
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="2"><DD>
|
|
Use
|
|
<B><path></B>
|
|
to contact a running cache daemon (or start a new cache daemon if one is not started). Defaults to
|
|
<B>$XDG_CACHE_HOME/git/credential/socket</B>
|
|
unless
|
|
<B>~/.git-credential-cache/</B>
|
|
exists in which case
|
|
<B>~/.git-credential-cache/socket</B>
|
|
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.

|
</DL>

<H2>CONTROLLING THE DAEMON</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
If you would like the daemon to exit early, forgetting all cached credentials before their timeout, you can issue an <B>exit</B> action:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="3"><DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
git credential-cache exit
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<A NAME="lbAG"> </A>
|
|
<H2>EXAMPLES</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The point of this helper is to reduce the number of times you must type your username or password. For example:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="4"><DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
$ git config credential.helper cache
|
|
$ git push <A HREF="http://example.com/repo.git">http://example.com/repo.git</A>
|
|
Username: <type your username>
|
|
Password: <type your password>
|
|
|
|
[work for 5 more minutes]
|
|
$ git push <A HREF="http://example.com/repo.git">http://example.com/repo.git</A>
|
|
[your credentials are used automatically]
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
You can provide options via the credential.helper configuration variable (this example drops the cache time to 5 minutes):
|
|
<P>
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="5"><DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
$ git config credential.helper 'cache --timeout=300'
|
|
</PRE>
|
