-This command caches credentials in memory for use by future Git programs\&. The stored credentials never touch the disk, and are forgotten after a configurable timeout\&. The cache is accessible over a Unix domain socket, restricted to the current user by filesystem permissions\&.
+This command caches credentials for use by future Git programs\&. The stored credentials are kept in memory of the cache\-daemon process (instead of written to a file) and are forgotten after a configurable timeout\&. Credentials are forgotten sooner if the cache\-daemon dies, for example if the system restarts\&. The cache is accessible over a Unix domain socket, restricted to the current user by filesystem permissions\&.

You probably don\(cqt want to invoke this command directly; it is meant to be used as a credential helper by other parts of Git\&. See \fBgitcredentials\fR(7) or \fBEXAMPLES\fR below\&.
