Both of these patches look good to me. It does make me wonder if many people are using credential-netrc, given these pretty obvious problems. You're certainly welcome to use it if it works for you, but I am curious what made you pick it versus one of the other more advanced helpers. I assume you're using a gpg-encrypted netrc (if not, you should probably just use credential-store). For "read-only" password access, I find the combination of pass[1] with config like this is a bit nicer: [credential "https://github.com";] username = peff helper = "!f() { test $1 = get && echo password=`pass github/oauth`; }; f" -Peff [1] https://www.passwordstore.org/
