+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. See
+ linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for details.
+
+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.
