Ann, a Linux administrator, is storing scripts in a private Git repository. Which of the following commands should Ann use to avoid entering the login and password every time Ann commits change?

Git init --shared sets group-writeable permissions on a repository to allow multiple users access, and has no effect on credential storage or caching.

Configuring a Git credential helper by writing the appropriate setting to .git/config allows Git to cache or store user credentials, eliminating repeated prompts during operations such as commit and push. Storing credential helper configuration directly in the repository config file enables persistent authentication for that repository without requiring user input on each interaction.

Git credential approve manually passes a single credential into the credential helper but does not configure automatic credential caching for future operations.

The correct configuration key is credential.helper - not credential.help - making this command syntactically invalid and unable to configure any caching behavior.
