ssh for git access
Hi,
I can't find reference to being able to authenticate to the cxf git repo
using ssh. I am not very comfortable having my password in .netrc file.
I sent an email off to the infrastructure team, but figured I would ask the
question here as well. What are others doing on linux (OSX as different
solution) or windows to protect their password.
Do you just put up with being prompted each time?
I am on Gnome Ubuntu 14.04

Even better, integration with gnome key ring

Answered my own question, sort of
git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout 3600'
I will look at encrypting .netrc file with a pgp key as well, but the cache
seems the most reasonable approach. I just need to enter my password once
per hour.
