Why is windows credential saving my git password without my knowledge ?
I am saving my config file in text format ( for portability reasons) by using the below command. It works fine even after I deleted the git credential from the windows credential manager.
git config credential.helper store
After some time of my work, Windows credentials may contain/save my credentials without my concern. How to block windows credentials to access my portable git credentials ?
As per my understanding:
## credential will save in Credential Manager
git config --global credential.helper wincred
## Credential will take from config file ( as we definded )
git config credential.helper store
Please suggest any ideas or suggestions
Note:
I am using GitHub portable so, I can finish code anywhere. The GitHub helper popup will ask for GitHub credentials during the push. But I can close, still pull/push works fine for me.
Please ignore if I made any grammar mistakes
