Git option: credential.helper

Git distinguishes three types of values for credential.helper:
It starts with a ! The value after the ! is considered to be a shell snippet
It is an absolute path The value is considered to be a (binary?) executable or a shell script /home/rene/personal-git-helper.sh
Else The value is prepended with git-credential- and then becomes the command Some values I've encountered include store, cache, cache--daemon and manager-core (and the respective commands and executables are git-credential-store etc.)
