I have setting up a mac but I pushed some stuff to my github, and got a message about "wincred"
Looking at my git settings, I have:



credential.helper=osxkeychain
credential.helper=wincred


How could this be? And how can I fix it?
I've been looking for a solution but nothing seems to work

          It's possible that you have two different credential helpers enabled in two different files. To see, run git config --show-origin -l and find out where the two are located, and then remove the one that refers to wincred.



          Note that if you're using Homebrew to install Git, the osxkeychain credential manager is set by that package. This is usually the right choice for macOS.

          • The Git command I specified lists the file that contains each option. You would edit that file with a text editor (e.g. vim, nano, emacs) and remove the line that says helper = wincred (assuming you are indeed on a Mac).
