Saving tortoiseGit password

Took me a little while to find this, so I thought I would immortalize it here.

Apparently you need to save a file called _netrc in %USERPROFILE%

So a quick little batch file :

@echo off
SET /P HOST=What is the hostname i.e github.com?
SET /P USERNAME=What is your username?
SET /P PASSWORD=What is your password?

echo machine %HOST% login %USERNAME% password %PASSWORD% > "%USERPROFILE%\_netrc"
