Don't want to enter the password on git prompt for each and every git pull/push operation

Question

Basically I am trying to perform the git operations ie git pull/git push to https:// from Git bash and don't want to enter password again and again asking on the prompt.

However I am not able to solve this thing on my windows 10 OS machine.

Things I have tried

• With git version 3.29.0, I have observed that the Git Credential Manager(GCM) is asking for the prompt for every git pull./push
• As per many stack overflow posts, I tried by downgrading the git version 3.29.0 to 3.28.1 so that Git Credential manager don't ask for password for each and every git pull/push
  • However on downgrading the git version to 3.28.0, now I am getting the password prompt from 'Git for Windows' for password

I want to bypass entering the password for each and every git pull/push.

With git version 3.28.0 -> git config --global credential.helper manager-core (not working)

Also tried using git config --global credential.helper cache

but after hitting the above command I am getting this error:

credential-cache unavailable; no unix socket support

$ git pull

fatal: credential-cache unavailable; no unix socket support
fatal: credential-cache unavailable; no unix socket support
fatal: credential-cache unavailable; no unix socket support
fatal: credential-cache unavailable; no unix socket support

Also tried with git credential store and it also gave below error git config credential.helper store:

$ git pull

fatal: credential-cache unavailable; no unix socket support

Want to bypass the git bash prompt in Microsoft Windows 10 password again and again

Thanks

You have to use your SSH key to sign your interactions between your computer and your GitHub/GitLab/GitWhatever account. This is the GitHub documentation, but there is pretty the process on your computer is not related to the git platform used, and I think you can find the same kind of documentation for the other platforms.

https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/about-ssh

Then, I guess you tried to push to your own repository, so use the git://... url instead of the https one.
