=== Available helpers

The community maintains a comprehensive list of Git credential helpers at
https://git-scm.com/doc/credential-helpers.

OAuth credential helper. Initial authentication opens a browser window to the
host. Subsequent authentication happens in the background. Many popular Git
hosts support OAuth.
