Hello, There appears to be a small inconsistency / bug in the documentation located at https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials. Under the "Custom Helpers" subhead, there's a line that reads > Generally speaking, rule (3) above is the simplest for users to specify. Authors of credential helpers should make an effort to assist their users by naming their program "git-credential-$NAME", and putting it in the $PATH or $GIT_EXEC_PATH during installation, which will allow a user to enable it with git config credential.helper $NAME. Earlier in the document, under "Configuration Options > helper", there is a line that reads > The name of an external credential helper, and any associated options. If the helper name is not an absolute path, then the string git credential- is prepended I think the latter text is correct. The maintainers of the google cloud SDK followed the advice in the first part, naming their cred helper `git-credential-gcloud.sh`, which is not accessible if you set the custom credential helper to `gcloud.sh`. I had to make a symlink at `credential-gcloud.sh`, following the instructions in the latter block, to make it work. One could of course just specify the full path in .gitconfig, but I figured it might be good to have these parts be consistent anyways. Best, Chris
