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
