gitcredentials(7) already mentions several possible invocations that one can use as the value for credential.helper. However, many people are not aware that there are other options than a simple credential helper name, so let's place some explanatory text in the documentation for credential.helper as well. We still refer the user to gitcredential(7) for additional explanations and helpful examples.

credential.helper::
|
|
Specify an external helper to be called when a username or
|
|
password credential is needed; the helper may consult external
|
|
storage to avoid prompting the user for the credentials. This is
|
|
normally the name of a credential helper with possible
|
|
arguments, but may also be an absolute path with arguments or, if
|
|
preceded by `!`, shell commands.
|
|
+
|
|
Note that multiple helpers may be defined. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7]
|
|
for details and examples.

|
|
credential.useHttpPath::
|
|
When acquiring credentials, consider the "path" component of an http
|
|
or https URL to be important. Defaults to false. See
|
|
linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information.
|
|
|
|
credential.username::
|
|
If no username is set for a network authentication, use this username
|
|
by default. See credential.<context>.* below, and
|
|
linkgit:gitcredentials[7].
|
|
|
|
credential.<url>.*::
|
|
Any of the credential.* options above can be applied selectively to
|
|
some credentials. For example "credential.https://example.com.username"
|
|
would set the default username only for https connections to
|
|
example.com. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for details on how URLs are
|
|
matched.
|
|
|
|
credentialCache.ignoreSIGHUP::
|
|
Tell git-credential-cache--daemon to ignore SIGHUP, instead of quitting.
