git config username and password global

To configure the global username and password for git in C++, you can follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Run the command git config --global user.name "Your Name". Replace "Your Name" with your desired username. This command sets the global username for all git repositories on your system.
3. Run the command git config --global user.email "[email protected]". Replace "[email protected]" with your email address. This command sets the global email address for all git repositories on your system.
4. Run the command git config --global credential.helper store. This command configures git to store your credentials in a file, so you don't have to enter your username and password every time you interact with a remote repository.
5. Run the command git config --global credential.username "your_username". Replace "your_username" with your username for the remote repository. This command sets the global username for the credential helper.
6. Run the command git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'. This command configures git to cache your credentials for 1 hour (3600 seconds) before asking for them again.

These steps ensure that your global username and password are set for all git repositories on your system, and the credential helper is configured to store and cache your credentials. This allows you to interact with remote repositories without repeatedly entering your username and password.

It's important to note that the --global flag in the commands above sets the configuration globally for all git repositories on your system. If you want to configure the username and password for a specific repository only, you can omit the --global flag and run the commands inside the repository's directory.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
