How can I save github credentials to the server

Question

When I do "git pull" on the Linux Ubuntu server to pull the changes from my repo, it always asks me for my GitHub account username and password. How can I save these credentials to the server forever?

git config --global user.name <username>
git config --global user.email <xxx@mail.com>
git config credential.helper store

Note: first time it will ask for the credentials
