There is probably a better place for me to post this so you can just tell 
me where if that is appropriate.

I am using Windows 10 and Visual Studio. So most or all software for Git 
has been installed by Visual Studio. When I use "Git Bash" to do:

git help -a | grep credential-


I get:

credential-manager      merge-recursive         submodule--helper
credential-store        merge-resolve           subtree
credential-wincred      merge-subtree           svn


And when I do:

git help credential-store


I get a Manual Page with the filename git-credential-manager.html that is 
in my local system. That page says there are two files that are possibly 
relevant and other documentation says there are system, global and local 
configuration files and I am not sure how much of that is relevant here. 
The git-credential-manager page says that the local configuration is in a 
*.git-credentials* file but for me it is in a *.git/config* file. Maybe I 
have that wrong; regardless, it is confusing.

I am not sure what they mean by *Second user-specific credentials file.* 
Apparently the system configuration is in:

C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/etc/gitconfig


And the global configuration is in:

C:/Users/Sam/.gitconfig     


None of those match the documentation but perhaps they are not relevant 
here. Perhaps I misunderstand something but it seems the documentation is 
ignoring Windows.
