I would like to know how to store the Gerrit Password, because everytime that I need to interact with my remote repository it asks my password.

You need to install/configure some "Credential helper" to avoid inputting your credentials repeatedly.

To know more details about that execute:

git help credentials

Following some credential helper options:

Ubuntu

A good credential helper for Ubuntu is the git-credential-libsecret. To install/configure it execute:

sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-0 libsecret-1-dev
sudo make -C /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret
git config --global credential.helper /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret

Other Unixes

You can use the git-credential-cache. It doesn't need to be installed because it's in the Git package. To configure it execute:

git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout 3600'

Windows

I think a good option for Windows is the Git Credential Manager for Windows.
