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.
|
||||
This command caches credentials for use by future Git programs.
|
||||
The stored credentials are kept in memory of the cache-daemon
|
||||
process (instead of written to a file) and are forgotten after a
|
||||
configurable timeout. Credentials are forgotten sooner if the
|
||||
cache-daemon dies, for example if the system restarts. 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
