+## Usage
+
+The `.netrc` [file](https://www.gnu.org/software/inetutils/manual/html_node/The-_002enetrc-file.html) can be used to provide credentials to many CLI tools (e.g. wget, git).
+
+Syntax:
+
+    machine example.com
+      login admin
+      password verysecret
+
+## Security
+
+When using `.netrc` consider
+
+- that your passwords are stored in plain text
+- to use proper file permissions (e.g. 0600)
