title: Store https passwords with cygwin's Git
body: <p>I am using Cygwin and Git. Every time I push/pull to a repo on Bitbucket with a https url I am asked to enter a password. 
  Is there a way to store these credentials (like with ssh-keys)? </p>
  
  <p>I tried to install <a href="http://gitcredentialstore.codeplex.com/" rel="noreferrer">Windows Credential Store for Git</a> but I can't get it to work with cygwin's Git.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I found my answer here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5343068/is-there-a-way-to-skip-password-typing-when-using-https-github">Is there a way to skip password typing when using https:// on GitHub?</a></p>
  
  <p>Summarized:</p>
  
  <p>Remember passwords for 15 minutes (default):</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config --global credential.helper cache
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Remember passwords for 10 hours:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=36000'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Store passwords (didn't try this):</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config --global credential.helper store
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Reset:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config --unset --global credential.helper
  </code></pre>
