title: Configure git to allow cli push/pull without password prompt - netrc ignored?
body: <p>I've just started a contract job, and have an account at the company git repository.  Problem is, the password given is alphanumeric gibberish, so I'd like to configure git to allow for password less push/pulls on my Ubuntu development box.</p>
  
  <p>To do so, I've created a <code>.netrc</code> file with 0600 permissions in <code>$HOME</code> and added</p>
  
  <pre><code>machine companyserver.com
  login jason
  password aphanumeric_gibberish
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The git clone command consists of </p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone jason@git.companyserver.com:/opt/git/jason.git 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Even after deleting my local working copy and re-cloning the git repo to </p>
  
  <pre><code>/media/storage/code_projects/company_working_copy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I still get prompted for the password.</p>
  
  <p>Based on these conditions, how can I implement a password-less push/pull using <code>.netrc</code>? </p>
