Git credential helper doesn't work
authentication, credentials, git, linux, opensuse
Solution
You need to install the `git-daemon` rpm. That RPM has the cache daemon.
Problem
I've just installed openSUSE, which came with Git version 1.8.1.4. I'm trying to push some repository after having configured the credential helper with this line: ``` git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600' ``` This line doesn't throw any errors. However, after I enter my credentials initially, and expect to get them cached, the credential helper does not work. It spits out this message: ``` error: cannot run git-credential-cache--daemon: No such file or directory fatal: unable to start cache daemon: No such file or directory ``` Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
