git credential / config helper
CautionCredential helpers
git config --global credential.helper <helper>
Configures how HTTPS credentials are stored — repeated auth failures usually mean a stale token in the helper.
Examples
git config --global credential.helper osxkeychainStore in the macOS keychain
Syntax
git config credential.helper manager|store|cache / git credential-manager ...
Before you run it
'store' is plaintext; prefer OS keychains.
