GIT-CREDENTIAL-CACHE--DAEMON(1) Git Manual GIT-CREDENTIAL-CACHE--DAEMON(1) NAME git-credential-cache--daemon - Temporarily store user credentials in memory SYNOPSIS git credential-cache--daemon [--debug] DESCRIPTION Note You probably don't want to invoke this command yourself; it is started automatically when you use git-credential-cache(1). This command listens on the Unix domain socket specified by for git-credential-cache clients. Clients may store and retrieve creden- tials. Each credential is held for a timeout specified by the client; once no credentials are held, the daemon exits. If the --debug option is specified, the daemon does not close its stderr stream, and may output extra diagnostics to it even after it has begun lis- tening for clients.
