This application is a small helper app designed to follow the git credentials API as defined by the Git Documentation.
Current Version: 1.1
- Download the git-credential-winstore.exe application
- Run it! If you have GIT in your PATH, it should just work. If you don't, run 'git-credential-winstore -i C:\Path\To\Git.exe'.
Make sure you're running the latest version of msysgit. The credential API is fairly new. I've tested this on version 1.7.10.
Make sure you're running with GIT on your PATH (perhaps by running from the GIT bash shell), or you've used the "-i" option to specify the location of Git
Thanks to Matt Wrock, we have a silent install option. Pass "-s" (and optionally follow that with the path to Git if it isn't in your PATH) and the helper will be installed without prompts!
This app just uses the existing Windows Credential Store to hold your credentials. You can see the stored credentials by going to Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager and choosing "Windows Credentials". The entries starting "git:" are from git-credential-winstore.
This helper is only for HTTPS connections, if you are using SSH, the helper won't run.
That's not a question.
Ok, you can email me at [email protected]. Or post an issue in the Issues section.
