git user/pass pop-ups when using git in Terminal window

[pieterjanvc]

Hello,

I think this post might help

@andy_kipp

RStudio doesn't provide any special storage of credentials for pushing/pulling to your repository beyond what is provided natively by git. When you enter credentials into git, they are however cached in your home directory for a configurable amount of time.

On a local Windows machine, git credentials are often stored in the credential manager if passwords are used. This might explain why it does not expire as fast as in the cloud.

Hope this helps,
PJ
