Setting up a fresh install of El Capitan…

I installed git via homebrew:

brew git

And since it has been such a long time since I had to link git to the OS-X key chain, I totally forgot how… After way to much searching, I figured I’d post this as a reminder for at least myself ;-)

But if you installed git using homebrew, you should already have the osxkeychain helper. You can verify this by trying to run it:

git credential-osxkeychain

To tell git to use osxkeychain, simply set the global git config:

git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain
