Configuring the caching behavior of GitHub Personal Access Tokens (PATs) requires a combination of JavaScript and platform-specific tools to manage the cache. In this example, I have provided a JavaScript script that allows users to specify the cache timeout and an option to store credentials permanently. The script will work on both Windows and Unix-like platforms (Linux and macOS) [1][2].
Before using this script, you need to install Git and authenticate with your GitHub account to set up the credential cache. You can do this by running git config --global credential.helper
cache.
Here's the JavaScript script that configures the caching behavior:
Here's how the script works:
To run the script, you'll need to have Node.js installed. Save the script to a .js file, open your terminal, navigate to the script's location, and execute it using the node command.
