✨ GIT-CREDENTIAL-OAUTH(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the git-credential-oauth manual page, and honestly? it's giving passwordless auth queen. no cap. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

git-credential-oauth — the Git credential helper that logs you into GitHub and other forges using OAuth, so you never have to type your password like it's 2009. 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

git-credential-oauth [<options>] <action>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: git-credential-oauth is a read-only Git credential helper that authenticates to GitHub and other forges using OAuth. that's it, that's the vibe. ✨

Example configuration for Git:

git config --global --unset-all credential.helper
git config --global --add credential.helper "cache --timeout 21600" # six hours
git config --global --add credential.helper oauth

and if you ever wanna break up with it (we've all been there 😭), to unconfigure:

git config --global --unset-all credential.helper oauth

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • Run git-credential-oauth -help for more details. 👑
literally just that. the manpage said "go ask the program itself" and honestly? icon behavior.
