### I want to cache a username and password for a repository
|
||||
|

You might have a repository that requires authentication. In which case you can cache a username and password so you don't have to enter it on every push / pull. Credential helper can do this for you.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ git config --global credential.helper cache
|
||||
# Set git to use the credential memory cache
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'
|
||||
# Set the cache to timeout after 1 hour (setting is in seconds)
|
||||
```
