How to setup github without typing username and password each times?

[junzhang3366]

When I used git pull or git push ,there was a window like below picture.

How do I setup my git so that it doesn't ask for username password on each times?
Thanks

You can use the "credential" config options for git to do this. So for example for GitHub, you can use this command to store your username:

git config --global credential.https://github.com.username junzhang3366

I also use the following to ask Git to cache the password so that I get asked about it less often:

git config --global credential.helper cache

You can also use "store" instead of "cache", so that the password will be stored on disk and you'll never be asked for it at all. That's less secure, though, because anyone who gets access to your computer (or just a certain file on your hard disk) can get that password. It's up to you to decide how important that kind of security is.
