[credential]
        helper = /usr/bin/gp credential-helper
  • are these defaults needed?
[push]
        default = simple
[alias]
        lg = log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit
[credential]
        helper = /usr/bin/gp credential-helper
[user]
        name = Geoffrey Huntley
        email = [email protected]
  • can we not run git config credential.helper = /usr/bin/gp credential-helper instead of shipping a .gitconfig thus removing default failure modes for standard tools like stow?
