Permanently authenticate with a Git repository

This post shows how to permanently authenticate with a Git repository, so you don’t need to type credentials when pushing to a remote.

Enable the credential storing:

git config --global credential.helper store

Then, attempt to push changes (if though everything is up-to-date) so the credentials are stored:

git push https://github.com/<your_username>/<your_repo>.git

Finally, provide the username and password/token when prompted.

For now on, the next time you push any changes you won’t be prompted to supply your credentials.

Hope it helps. Cya!
