If you compiled your own git (2.34.0 or newer) without NO_UNIX_SOCKETS this helper should work on Windows 10 build 17063 and newer [2][3]. You seem to be running this in CMD or maybe powershell. Different quoting rules apply for the two, but the leading "'" before the "cache" is definitely wrong without a trailing counterpart.

The superfluous "'" made it into the config file and is causing these error messages. > As I mentioned above, when I want to pull again, appears the same previous code. > > I have also tried with the below options: > - git config credential.helper cache (without ‘ ) > - git config credential helper cache --timeout=1800 > - git config credential.helper ‘cache --timeout=1800’ > - git config credential.helper ‘cache [--timeout=1800]’ I assume the "‘" and "‘" are supposed to be "'" and your MUA mangled them a little. Otherwise that's definitely part of the problem. If you're on CMD you want either > git config credential.helper cache or > git config credential.helper "cache --timeout=1800" If you're on powershell > git config credential.helper 'cache --timeout=1800' should also work. Do note that the Git documentation assumes a POSIX shell when it gives examples of commands. Best regards Matthias > Am I programming something wrong?
