title: Git http - securely remember credentials
body: <p>Is there a way to securely let git remember my credentials when connecting to remote repositories over HTTP(S)? </p>
  
  <p>I've tried the <code>core.askpass</code> approach detailed in <a href="http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config" rel="noreferrer"><code>git-config</code></a> to let an external script supply my credentials. Although it works great the username and password is still stored in plain text in the small shell script. </p>
