You probably don want to invoke this command yourself; it is started automatically when you use git-credential-cache (1). This command listens on the Unix domain socket specified by <socket> for git-credential -cache clients . Clients may store and retrieve credentials . Each credential is held for a timeout specified by the client; once no credentials are held, the daemon exits . If the --debug option is specified, the daemon does not close its stderr stream, and may output extra diagnostics to it even after it has begun listening for clients .
