We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc, meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting. It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files, since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new extension as well. Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the documentation. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-credential-store - Helper to store credentials on disk
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
-------------------
|
|
git config credential.helper 'store [<options>]'
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Using this helper will store your passwords unencrypted on disk,
|
|
protected only by filesystem permissions. If this is not an acceptable
|
|
security tradeoff, try linkgit:git-credential-cache[1], or find a helper
|
|
that integrates with secure storage provided by your operating system.
|
|
|
|
This command stores credentials indefinitely on disk for use by future
|
|
Git programs.
|
|
|
|
You probably don't want to invoke this command directly; it is meant to
|
|
be used as a credential helper by other parts of git. See
|
|
linkgit:gitcredentials[7] or `EXAMPLES` below.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--file=<path>::
|
|
|
|
Use `<path>` to lookup and store credentials. The file will have its
|
|
filesystem permissions set to prevent other users on the system
|
|
from reading it, but it will not be encrypted or otherwise
|
|
protected. If not specified, credentials will be searched for from
|
|
`~/.git-credentials` and `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials`, and
|
|
credentials will be written to `~/.git-credentials` if it exists, or
|
|
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials` if it exists and the former does
|
|
not. See also <<FILES>>.

|
FILES
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
If not set explicitly with `--file`, there are two files where
|
|
git-credential-store will search for credentials in order of precedence:
|
|
|
|
~/.git-credentials::
|
|
User-specific credentials file.
|
|
|
|
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials::
|
|
Second user-specific credentials file. If '$XDG_CONFIG_HOME' is not set
|
|
or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/credentials` will be used. Any credentials
|
|
stored in this file will not be used if `~/.git-credentials` has a
|
|
matching credential as well. It is a good idea not to create this file
|
|
if you sometimes use older versions of Git that do not support it.
|
|
|
|
For credential lookups, the files are read in the order given above, with the
|
|
first matching credential found taking precedence over credentials found in
|
|
files further down the list.
|
|
|
|
Credential storage will by default write to the first existing file in the
|
|
list. If none of these files exist, `~/.git-credentials` will be created and
|
|
written to.
|
|
|
|
When erasing credentials, matching credentials will be erased from all files.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The point of this helper is to reduce the number of times you must type
|
|
your username or password. For example:
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
$ git config credential.helper store
|
|
$ git push http://example.com/repo.git
|
|
Username: <type your username>
|
|
Password: <type your password>
|
|
|
|
[several days later]
|
|
$ git push http://example.com/repo.git
|
|
[your credentials are used automatically]
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
STORAGE FORMAT
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The `.git-credentials` file is stored in plaintext. Each credential is
|
|
stored on its own line as a URL like:
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
https://user:pass@example.com
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
No other kinds of lines (e.g. empty lines or comment lines) are
|
|
allowed in the file, even though some may be silently ignored. Do
|
|
not view or edit the file with editors.
|
|
|
|
When Git needs authentication for a particular URL context,
|
|
credential-store will consider that context a pattern to match against
|
|
each entry in the credentials file. If the protocol, hostname, and
|
|
username (if we already have one) match, then the password is returned
|
|
to Git. See the discussion of configuration in linkgit:gitcredentials[7]
|
|
for more information.
