list credential helpers #1786

Closed hickford closed 1 year ago

New page listing available credential helpers

The aim of this change is to introduce a discoverable, helpful, community-maintained, comprehensive list of credential helpers. Questions about Git credentials such as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35942754/how-can-i-save-username-and-password-in-git (3.5m views) are among the most viewed questions on StackOverflow. Users are desperate for information about credential helpers, but the Git docs only discuss credential-cache and credential-store

@ttaylorr @peff any thoughts?

I think that the credential helper page does not need to appear in the site sidebar.

Change to sidebar already reverted, unless I'm missing something.

Ah, sorry, I must have misread the diff here. This LGTM.
