As per https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials#Documentation/gitcredentials.txt-helper: If there are multiple instances of the `credential.helper` configuration variable, each helper will be tried in turn, and may provide a username, password, or nothing. Once Git has acquired both a username and a non-expired password, no more helpers will be tried. > I wonder if some proper fix is there for this. Yes, from the same page: If `credential.helper` is configured to the empty string, this resets the helper list to empty (so you may override a helper set by a lower-priority config file by configuring the empty-string helper, followed by whatever set of helpers you would like). So the trick is to call `git config set --global --add credential.helper ''` followed by `git config set --global --add credential.helper $HELPER`. Ciao, Johannes
