You may have other config for your user (--global) or for the machine (--system). Try: git config --show-origin --get-regexp credential.* to see any related config you have, and which file it comes from (you can also just do "--show-origin --list" to see all of the config). > What can I do to get rid of this annoying message (and, for all I > know, potential symptom of a larger problem)? I don't know enough about Git for Windows packaging to know whether you're supposed to have the winstore credential helper installed. So it could be a symptom of some kind of installation problem. But in general, a missing credential helper isn't a big deal (it just means that Git can't ask it for a credential and will end up prompting you or using a different helper). -Peff
