Warning: Your Git credentials will be saved in a plaintext format in the files .git/config or ~/.git-credentials, depending on the method you choose.

Set Username and Password in Remote URL

To save credentials you can clone Git repository by setting a username and password on the command line:

The username and password will be stored in .git/config file as a part of the remote repository URL.

If you have already cloned a repository without setting username and password on the command line, you can always update the remote URL by running the following command:

When credentials storage is enabled, the first time you pull or push from the remote Git repository, you will be asked for a username and password, and they will be saved in ~/.git-credentials file.

github.com

and your private one.

To be able to configure usernames and passwords for different Git repositories on the same Git server you can enable the useHttpPath option.

By default, Git does not consider the “path” component of an http URL to be worth matching via external helpers. This means that a credential stored for https://example.com/foo.git will also be used for https://example.com/bar.git. If you do want to distinguish these cases, set useHttpPath option to true (source)

Run the following commands to configure Git credentials storage and separate credentials for different repositories on github.com:

The usernames and passwords for different GitHub repositories will be stored in ~/.git-credentials file separately on their own lines:
