How to Set Git Username and Password?

Setting up your username and password in Git is essential for maintaining security and control over your repositories. Follow these steps to configure your Git credentials:

1. Open your Git Bash or terminal.
2. Set your username by entering the command: git config --global user.name 'Your Username'
3. Set your email address by entering the command: git config --global user.email 'youremail@example.com'
4. To cache your password in Git, you can use a credential helper to securely store your credentials. Run the command: git config --global credential.helper cache
5. The first time you interact with a remote repository, Git will prompt you to enter your username and password. After that, Git will store your credentials in the cache for a specified period.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage your Git credentials and ensure secure interactions with your repositories.
