Using the .netrc file The .netrc file is a mechanism that allows you to specify which credentials to use for which server.

This method allows you to avoid entering a username and password every time you push to or pull from Git, but your Git password is stored in plain text.

You can store your credentials using the following command

git config credential.helper store
git push http://example.com/repo.git
# Now type username and password and it should be saved by git.
