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
       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'
