Thanks for the quick reply. Is there any documentation on which variables are muli-valued? git -c credential.helper="store --file=creds" config --get credential.helper only returns one value. How can i even know if there are multiple set. I mean someone might have just created an extra credential.helper in `--system` that I'm not expecting...
