how to add credentials from the command line using 'git credential-osxkeychain store'?












0















When executing 'git credential-osxkeychain' in MacOS, it shows the option 'store' and I guess it can be used to add the credentials.



I didn't find any documentation about the syntax required to add credentials using the command 'git credential-osxkeychain store', anyone knows how to do it?



Please notice that I do know how to do it using the MacOS app 'Keychain Access', I'd like to know how to do it using the command line

          git credential-osxkeychain store reads protocol/host/username/password from stdin separated by newlines, so feed them something like this:



          echo "
          protocol=https
          host=github.com
          username=$NAME
          password=$PASSWD" | git credential-osxkeychain store


          All 4 parameters are required.
