#HOW TO CLEAR MAC CACHE SECURELY 2018 PASSWORD#
I find it more convenient than a "cache" helper", where you need to remember and type (once per session) a different password for each of your remote services, for said password to be cached in memory. That way, you can memorize several URLs/logins/passwords in one file, and have it stored on your disk encrypted. The other times, the gpg-agent launched automatically by the first GPG call will provide that passphrase for you. The first time, GPG will ask you for the passphrase of your GPG key, to decrypt the file. wouldn't work at all.) (You can use at first -v -d to see what is going on.)įrom now on, any Git command using an HTTP(S) URL which requires authentication will decrypt that _netrc.gpg file and use the login/password associated to the server you are contacting. Use that encrypted file: git config -local credential.helper "netrc -f C:/path/to/_netrc.gpg -v" (You now can delete the _netrc file, keeping only the _netrc.gpg encrypted one.) (Don't forget the ' protocol' part: ' http' or ' https' depending on the URL you will use.)Įncrypt that file: gpg -e -r a_recipient _netrc Make a _netrc file in clear text machine a_

(Yes, this is a Bash script, but it will work on Windows since it will be called by Git.) (Beware: the script is renamed in Git 2.25.x/2.26, see below)
#HOW TO CLEAR MAC CACHE SECURELY 2018 INSTALL#
Install the credential helper script in a directory within your %PATH%: cd c:\a\fodler\in\your\pathĬurl -o c:\prgs\bin\git-credential-netrc (Make sure to put a passphrase to that key.) Since gpg4win-vanilla-2 comes with gpg2.exe, you need to duplicate it.)Ĭreate or import a GPG key, and trust it: gpgp -import aKey (Note the ' copy' command: Git will need a Bash script to execute the command ' gpg'. Install gpg4Win Lite, the minimum gnupg command-line interface (take the most recent gpg4win-vanilla-2.X.Y-betaZZ.exe), and complete your PATH with the GPG installation directory: set PATH=%PATH%:C:\path\to\gpgĬopy C:\path\to\gpg\gpg2.exe C:\path\to\gpg\gpg.exe
#HOW TO CLEAR MAC CACHE SECURELY 2018 FULL#
(Git has a gpg.exe in its distribution, but using a full GPG installation includes a gpg-agent.exe, which will memorize your passphrase associated to your GPG key.) This is a problem on distributions like Debian that call modern GnuPG something else, like ' gpg2' Git-credential-netrc was hardcoded to decrypt with ' gpg' regardless of (Merged by Junio C Hamano - gitster - in commit 017b7c5, ) git-credential-netrc: accept gpg option See commit 786ef50, commit f07eeed () by Luis Marsano (``). Note: with Git 2.18 (Q2 2018), you now can customize the GPG used to decrypt the encrypted. Solution: Encrypt that file with GPG (GNU Privacy Guard), and make Git decrypt it each time it needs a password (for push/ pull/ fetch/ clone operation).
Saving a password for a Git repository HTTPS URL is possible with a ~/.netrc (Unix) or %HOME%/_netrc (note the _) on Windows.īut: That file would store your password in plain text. TLDR Use an encrypted netrc file with Git 1.8.3+. Git config -global credential.helper /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret Ubuntu sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-0 libsecret-1-devĬd /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret Git config -global credential.helper /usr/libexec/git-core/git-credential-libsecret Nowadays (2020), that would be (on Linux) Fedora sudo dnf install git-credential-libsecret With Git for Windows 2.7.3+ (March 2016): git config -global credential.helper managerįor Linux, you would use (in 2011) gnome-keyring(or other keyring implementation such as KWallet). git config -global credential.helper wincred # obsolete

GitHub's help also suggests that if you're on Mac OS X and used Homebrew to install Git, you can use the native Mac OS X keystore with: git config -global credential.helper osxkeychainįor Windows, there is a helper called Git Credential Manager for Windows or wincred in msysgit. You can also store your credentials permanently if so desired, see the other answers below. Which sets the cache for 1 hour, or: git config -global credential.helper "cache -timeout=86400"įor 1 day. The default is 15 minutes, you can set a longer timeout with: git config -global credential.helper "cache -timeout=3600"
The credential.helper cache value tells Git to keep your password cached in memory for a particular amount of minutes. You can just use one of the following credential helpers: git config -global credential.helper cache Since Git 1.7.9 (released 2012), there is a neat mechanism in Git to avoid having to type your password all the time for HTTP / HTTPS, called credential helpers.
