How to Set Username and Password in Git

Setting Username and Password in Git

When using Git, it's important to secure your repositories by setting up a username and password for authentication. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open your Git Bash or terminal.
2. Enter the following command to set your username: git config --global user.name 'Your Username'
3. Next, set your email address with the command: git config --global user.email 'your.email@example.com'
4. To enable credential caching for your username and password, run: git config --global credential.helper cache
5. Now, the first time you interact with a remote repository, Git will prompt you for your username and password. Enter them and they will be cached for future use.

Remember to keep your credentials secure and avoid sharing them with anyone.
