Save Credentials for Remotes in Git

SSH Key based login for Git works most of the times, except for the time when we add a HTTPS based remote (obviously with access token!), then it's annoying to put in your access token every single time, and that we can fix with Git Credential Storage, example given below -

Setup Git Credential Storage Globally

$ git config --global credential.helper store

Note: --global argument tells Git to set this globally; credential file is stored ~/.git-credentials.

Setup Git Credential Storage on a Single Repository

$ cd /path/to/the/respository
$ git config credential.helper store
