Git ignores credentials stored in .git-credentials












1















I have two local repositories which are hosted on the same server and I have configured Git to store my credentials in the .git-credentials file via the following command.



git config credential.helper store


However, the fetch/pull/push without entering credentials only work in one repository. In the other repository, Git always asks for credentials and ignores the .git-credentials file.

          I have solved my problem. My config command was missing the global option. Without this option I have only configured it for one repository.



          The correct command would have been:



          git config --global credential.helper store
