Safe & save - Git password under Windows

When I am looking for how to save may git password I get everywhere a lot of solutions. Sometimes it is necessary to read big amount of descriptions before we are able to use right command. I have decided to prepare this article for people who use Windows with git and want to keep password in safe storage.

Solution is simple. Just use following command:

git config --global credential.helper manager
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

It switches git to use Windows Credintial Manager to store passwords in safe way.
