I use a shared computer. How can I keep my git account secure?

  • 772

I'm doing a course on a shared computer and I'm saving my work on github.

But of course... the repository is linked to the github account and they could do malicious pushes in the repository.

How would I unlink the git credentials of the computer and my project from my account every time I finish the class?

A kind of git logout.

git

    You can uninstall the "Credential manager"one from Git. For it,

    Assuming you are in windows:

    navigate from the terminal to: C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\libexec\git-core(or its equivalent for x86) and place:

    git credential-manager uninstall --force

    If you're in linux, try:

    git config --global --unset credential.helper

    This way, it should prompt you for credentials for any commands that point to the remote server.
