Git Credential Manager Core (GCM Core) is the official replacement. Git Credential Manager for Windows is no longer being maintained. Returned to Git.NOTICE: This project is no longer being maintained. Protocol, hostname, and username (if we already have one) match, then the password is

That context a pattern to match against each entry in the credentials file. Git needs authentication for a particular URL context, credential-store will consider git-credentials file is stored in plaintext. The point of this helper is to reduce the number of times you must type your username or When erasing credentials, matching credentials will be erased from all files. Of these files exist, ~/.git-credentials will be created and written to. Matching credential found taking precedence over credentials found in files further downĬredential storage will by default write to the first existing file in the list. Not to create this file if you sometimes use older versions of Git that do not supportįor credential lookups, the files are read in the order given above, with the first Not be used if ~/.git-credentials has a matching credential as well. $HOME/.config/git/credentials will be used. Search for credentials in order of precedence:

If not set explicitly with -file, there are two files where git-credential-store will Written to ~/.git-credentials if it exists, or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials if itĮxists and the former does not. If not specified, credentials will be searched forįrom ~/.git-credentials and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials, and credentials will be Permissions set to prevent other users on the system from reading it, but will not beĮncrypted or otherwise protected. You probably don’t want to invoke this command directly it is meant to be used as aĬredential helper by other parts of git. This command stores credentials indefinitely on disk for use by future Git programs. If this is not an acceptable security tradeoff, try git- credential-cache(1), or find a helper that integrates with secure storage provided by Using this helper will store your passwords unencrypted on disk, protected only byįilesystem permissions.
