+# Caching Credentials
+
+When public key authentication isn't an option, you may find yourself typing
+your password over and over when pushing to and pulling from a remote git
+repository. This can get tedious. You can get around it, though, by
+configuring git to cache your credentials. Add the following lines to the
+`.git/config` file of the particular project.
+
+```
+[credential]
+    helper = cache --timeout=300
+```
+
+This will tell git to cache your credentials for 5 minutes. Use a much
+larger number of seconds (e.g. 604800) to cache for longer.
+
+Alternatively, you can execute the command from the command line like so:
+
+```bash
+$ git config credential.helper 'cache --timeout=300'
+```
