This: Where the git clone passwords are being stored or cached? is basically the question I have but it's unanswered.

If I clone a private repository from my github account via https, i get asked for username and password once. And then never ever again. I looked up in my local .git folder if I can found any password in plain text but I can't find any. I also looked in my windows User folder for the .git-credential, there is none. In my home folder is also no .config/git folder. I search everywhere but I don't know where the credentials are stored. If i push my commits of the repo to the server, it will just do it without asking me for password.

I am using windows 10 and git version 2.24.1.windows.2

CodePudding user response：

The credentials are stored in windows credentials.

Click on start > control panel > search for windows credentials > manage your credentials.

Over there the credentials used for git can be found.
