11 git credential-cache--daemon [--debug] <socket>

13 DESCRIPTION
14 -----------
15
16 NOTE: You probably don't want to invoke this command yourself; it is
17 started automatically when you use linkgit:git-credential-cache[1].
18
19 This command listens on the Unix domain socket specified by `<socket>`
20 for `git-credential-cache` clients. Clients may store and retrieve
21 credentials. Each credential is held for a timeout specified by the
22 client; once no credentials are held, the daemon exits.
23
24 If the `--debug` option is specified, the daemon does not close its
25 stderr stream, and may output extra diagnostics to it even after it has
26 begun listening for clients.
