+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.
+
+credentialStore.lockTimeoutMS::
+	The length of time, in milliseconds, for git-credential-store to retry
+	when trying to lock the credentials file. A value of 0 means not to retry at
+	all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 1000 (i.e., retry for
+	1s).
