How to bypass giving username and password each time when push something in remote repo?

Question

When I run git push remote origin I have to give username and password. It is very important to make updated the remote repository when working in a team. For this reason I have to push when I modify/add something.

But, each time giving username and password is annoying.

You can use this command to store your credentials in cache:

git config credential.helper store

With this setting, next time you input your credentials, Git will remember them.

Warning: Git will store your passwords unencrypted, this might be dangerous! You could go for a SSH authentication instead, it would be more secure.
