git-credential-cache—​daemon

git-credential-cache{litdd}daemon(1) ====================================

NAME ---- git-credential-cache—​daemon - Temporarily store user credentials in memory

SYNOPSIS --------

’git credential-cache{litdd}daemon’ [--debug] \<socket-path>

DESCRIPTION -----------

[!NOTE] You probably don’t want to invoke this command yourself; it is started automatically when you use git-credential-cache.

This command listens on the Unix domain socket specified by <socket-path> for git-credential-cache clients. Clients may store and retrieve credentials. 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 listening for clients.
