<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<note><simpara>You probably don't want to invoke this command yourself; it is
started automatically when you use <xref linkend="git-credential-cache(1)" />.</simpara></note>
<simpara>This command listens on the Unix domain socket specified by <emphasis>&lt;socket-path&gt;</emphasis>
for <emphasis>git-credential-cache</emphasis> 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.</simpara>
<simpara>If the <emphasis>--debug</emphasis> 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.</simpara>
