I think this is because Git allows multiple credential helpers. It's likely that, as you mentioned below, the Git Credential Manager is actually in the system file and the one you've specified is just interpreted as an additional helper. > I removed it using git config --edit --system, but after every update, it pops out again. Is it the case that it gets re-added to this file on upgrade? That would explain why it keeps showing up. > I wonder if some proper fix is there for this. Ideally, you'd configure Git for Windows not to add this helper. I think there's a configuration option when you install it. If you can't or don't want to reinstall Git for Windows to reconfigure it, you could try setting the `credential.helper` option to an empty string and then configuring the helper you want. For instance, it might look like this (not valid for Windows, just an example): [credential] helper = helper = libsecret The empty string resets the list to remove any existing helpers and then you can append whatever values you want (in my case, libsecret, but again, that almost certainly does not work on Windows). -- brian m. carlson (they/them) Toronto, Ontario, CA
