17- This command caches credentials in memory for use by future Git

17+ This command caches credentials for use by future Git programs.
18+ The stored credentials are kept in memory of the cache-daemon
19+ process (instead of written to a file) and are forgotten after a
20+ configurable timeout. Credentials are forgotten sooner if the
21+ cache-daemon dies, for example if the system restarts. The cache
22+ is accessible over a Unix domain socket, restricted to the current
23+ user by filesystem permissions.
