Dear Mr. / Ms.

I am José María López Sánchez a senior system engineer working for the EDAG Group company. We are willing to use GIT to start controlling our project versions.
I have an issue when I want to stop inserting repeatedly my credentials. The cache function is not working somehow.
I have typed the following:

C:\Users\jl83870\Desktop\00_temp\GIT EAGEL\eagel-project>git config credential.helper 'cache

Looks like you're running this on Windows, so you're probably using Git for Windows, where this helper will error out with the message "fatal: credential-cache unavailable; no unix socket support", even when otherwise configured correctly [1]. If you compiled your own git (2.34.0 or newer) without NO_UNIX_SOCKETS this helper should work on Windows 10 build 17063 and newer [2][3]. You seem to be running this in CMD or maybe powershell. Different quoting rules apply for the two, but the leading "'" before the "cache" is definitely wrong without a trailing
counterpart.

Then I introduced once my credentials to store them in cache. If the command worked, the second time that I attempted to pull the remote server, I should not have typed the credentials again to be able to trigger the command.

C:\Users\jl83870\Desktop\00_temp\GIT EAGEL\eagel-project>git pull origin
git credential-'cache get: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
git credential-'cache get: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Username for 'https://csp.edag.de': jl83870
Password for 'https://jl83870@xxxxxxxxxxx':
git credential-'cache store: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
git credential-'cache store: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Already up to date.

The superfluous "'" made it into the config file and is causing these error messages.

As I mentioned above, when I want to pull again, appears the same previous code.

I have also tried with the below options:
-       git config credential.helper cache (without ‘ )
-       git config credential helper cache --timeout=1800
-       git config credential.helper ‘cache --timeout=1800’
-       git config credential.helper ‘cache [--timeout=1800]’

I assume the "‘" and "‘" are supposed to be "'" and your MUA mangled them a little. Otherwise that's definitely part of the problem.
If you're on CMD you want either
git config credential.helper cache
or
git config credential.helper "cache --timeout=1800"

If you're on powershell
git config credential.helper 'cache --timeout=1800'
should also work.

Do note that the Git documentation assumes a POSIX shell when it gives examples of commands.

Best regards

Am I programming something wrong? Could you please help me with it?
