NAME top

   git-credential-cache--daemon - Temporarily store user credentials
   in memory

SYNOPSIS top

   _git credential-cache--daemon_ [--debug] <socket-path>

DESCRIPTION top

       **Note**

       You probably don’t want to invoke this command yourself; it is
       started automatically when you use [git-credential-cache(1)](../man1/git-credential-cache.1.html).

   This command listens on the Unix domain socket specified by
   _<socket-path>_ for **git-credential-cache** clients. Clients may store
   and retrieve credentials. Each credential is held for a timeout
   specified by the client; once no credentials are held, the daemon
   exits.

   If the **--debug** option is specified, the daemon does not close its
   stderr stream, and may output extra diagnostics to it even after
   it has begun listening for clients.
