I've long wished for a page on git-scm.com that's dedicated to (1) explaining what a credential helper is and (2) offering a list of suggested helpers along with scenarios for which each is best-suited. This could also be a good place to call out the risks of using helpers like git-credential-store in a factual, unbiased way. Thanks, Lessley
