Is there a way to cache GitHub credentials for pushing commits?

I recently switched to synchronizing my repositories to https:// on GitHub (due to firewall issues), and it asks for a password every time.

Usually you have a remote URL, something like this,

git remote -v

origin    https://gitlab.com/username/Repo.git (fetch)
origin    https://gitlab.com/username/Repo.git (push)

If you want to skip username and password while using git push, try this:

 git remote set-url origin https://username:password@gitlab.com/username/Repo.git

I've just added the same URL (with user details including password) to origin.

NOTE: It doesn't work if username is an email Id.

git remote -v

origin    https://username:password@gitlab.com/username/Repo.git (fetch)
origin    https://username:password@gitlab.com/username/Repo.git (push)
