git for windows （又名 msysgit）如何记住用户名和密码

创建存储用户名密码的文件

在home文件夹，一般是 C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator 下建立文件 .git-credentials （windows下不允许直接创建以.开头的文件，所以有一个小技巧：先创建一个文件名叫 ）git-credentials 然后进入 git bash 使用命令：

mv git-credentials .git-credentials

用记事本打开这文件输入：

https://{username}:{password}@github.com

比如：

https://zhangsan:123456@github.com

保存

添加config项

在任意文件夹下右键进入 git bash

然后输入：

git config --global credential.helper store

执行完后去查看 C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.gitconfig 这个文件，发现多了一项：

[credential]
	helper = store

就成功了。

然后要重开 git bash 窗口，再提交就不用输入用户名密码

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. Seegitcredentials(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'
