Thanks Orie for sharing your git config tips! Didn't know about the --replace-all flag yet 👏
Concerning safety it is important to mention, that git config credential.helper store stores your credentials unencrypted in plain text on your disk (under ~/.git-credentials). It is recommended using either git-credential-cache or a helper that handles encryption.
Just saying for those with setups where store is an unacceptable security tradeoff 😇
