+NAME
+----
+git-credential-store - helper to store credentials on disk
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+-------------------
+git config credential.helper 'store [options]'
+-------------------
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+NOTE: Using this helper will store your passwords unencrypted on disk,
+protected only by filesystem permissions. If this is not an acceptable
+security tradeoff, try linkgit:git-credential-cache[1], or find a helper
+that integrates with secure storage provided by your operating system.
+
+This command stores credentials indefinitely on disk for use by future
+git programs.
+
+You probably don't want to invoke this command directly; it is meant to
+be used as a credential helper by other parts of git. See
+linkgit:gitcredentials[7] or `EXAMPLES` below.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+--store=<path>::
+
+ Use `<path>` to store credentials. The file will have its
+ filesystem permissions set to prevent other users on the system
+ from reading it, but will not be encrypted or otherwise
+ protected. Defaults to `~/.git-credentials`.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+The point of this helper is to reduce the number of times you must type
+your username or password. For example:
+
+------------------------------------------
+$ git config credential.helper store
+$ git push http://example.com/repo.git
+Username: <type your username>
+Password: <type your password>
+
+[several days later]
+$ git push http://example.com/repo.git
+[your credentials are used automatically]
+------------------------------------------
+
+STORAGE FORMAT
+--------------
+
+The `.git-credentials` file is stored in plaintext. Each credential is
+stored on its own line as a URL like:
+
+------------------------------
+https://user:pass@example.com
+------------------------------
+
+When git needs authentication for a particular URL context,
+credential-store will consider that context a pattern to match against
+each entry in the credentials file. If the protocol, hostname, and
+username (if we already have one) match, then the password is returned
+to git. See the discussion of configuration in linkgit:gitcredentials[7]
+for more information.

`credential-*` in the output of `git help -a`, and consult the
documentation of individual helpers. Once you have selected a helper,
