How to save git token key to avoid again and again put manually

 

To avoid entering your Git token key manually every time, you can use Git's credential helper to save and cache your credentials. The following steps outline how to set it up:

1.Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Set up the Git credential helper by running the following command:

git config --global credential.helper cache

This command configures Git to use the cache credential helper, which will store your credentials in memory for a certain period of time.

3.Set the cache timeout (optional):

git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'

This command sets the cache timeout to 3600 seconds (1 hour). After this period of inactivity, Git will prompt you to enter your credentials again.

4.The next time you interact with a remote Git repository that requires authentication, enter your username and password (or token) as you normally would. Git will cache these credentials for the specified timeout period.

From now on, you won't have to enter your Git token key manually every time you interact with the repository within the cache timeout period.

Note: Be cautious when setting up Git credential caching on shared or public computers, as it may expose your credentials to other users who have access to the same account.
