There is "credential helper" series: * infrastructure and simple example implementations, like in-memory cache by Jeff King * credential helper for MacOS X keychain from Jay Soffian * credential helper for KDE (KWallet) from Lukas Sandstr=F6m * simple credential helper for Windows by Erik Faye-Lund In 'next' there is only sample implemetations (credentia-cache and credential-store). Some of the rest you can find in 'pu', others only on git mailing list. Currently there are no credentials helper for GNOME. Perhaps you can write one? --=20 Jakub Nar=EAbski
