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

+OAuth credential helper. Initial authentication opens a browser window to the
+host. Subsequent authentication happens in the background. Many popular Git
