git clone https:// don't input username and password

Apart from changing to SSH you can also keep using HTTPS, if you don't mind to put your password in clear text. Put this in your ~/.netrc and it won't ask for your username/password (at least on Linux): machine github.com login <user> password <password> Addition (see VonC's 2nd comment): on Windows the file name is %HOME%\_netrc. Also read VonC's first comment in case you want to encrypt. share | improve this answer edited Nov 22 '13 at 21:48 answered Jan 19 '13 at 19:08 rintcius 1,148 6 14

2   Yeah, it works on Linux, but doesn't work for gitbash on Windows. –  Sales Apr 12 '13 at 16:56 5   From a security point of view, it is a very bad idea. –  dolmen Sep 20 '13 at 14:17 2   @dolmen I see what you mean, but if you mind putting your password in a clear text, you can... encrypt it ;) See stackoverflow.com/a/18362082/6309. and that is even compatible with the 2-factor authentication (2FA) of Github: stackoverflow.com/a/18607931/6309 –  VonC Nov 21 '13 at 8:29 2   @Sales it works perfectly from a DOS session or a git bash on Windows, provided you call your file %HOME%\_netrc (instead of ~/.netrc). See also stackoverflow.com/a/18362082/6309 to encrypt that file. –  VonC Nov 21 '13 at 8:30 This also works in Mac. Great –  Guixing Bai Dec 19 '13 at 4:52
