52 You probably don\(cqt want to invoke this command yourself; it is started automatically when you use \fBgit-credential-cache\fR(1)\&.
56 This command listens on the Unix domain socket specified by \fB<socket\-path>\fR for \fBgit\-credential\-cache\fR 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\&.
58 If the \fB\-\-debug\fR 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\&.
61 Part of the \fBgit\fR(1) suite
