Saving Your Git Username

It's a pain having to re-enter credentials every time you want to push to a remote repository via https. There are a number of ways to save your credentials, but perhaps the quickest and easiest name to store your username is to simply add something like this to your .gitconfig file (probably located in your root directory):

[credential "https://github.com"]
    username = your_username

I also strongly suggest checking out the git credentials documentation. It goes into more detail about how this works and it describes a few other ways to store your credentials.

Hello World

Welcome! The purpose of this blog is to make your life easier by documenting my programming trials and tribulations. Any time that I spend more than an hour Googling the answer to a programming-related issue, I will include the problem and solution here in hopes that it makes the next Googler's life easier. Thus, the vast majority (if not all) of the posts will be relatively small solutions to relatively small problems. I won't be focusing on a particular stack or technology and you won't be seeing any of my thoughts/opinions/ramblings/musings here.
