=== Available helpers
108+
109+
The community maintains a comprehensive list of Git credential helpers at
110+
https://git-scm.com/doc/credential-helpers.

=== OAuth
113+
114+
An alternative to inputting passwords or personal access tokens is to use an
115+
OAuth credential helper. Initial authentication opens a browser window to the
116+
host. Subsequent authentication happens in the background. Many popular Git
117+
hosts support OAuth.
