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 Storagearrow-up-right, 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
