`~/.git-credentials` and `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials`, and
credentials will be written to `~/.git-credentials` if it exists, or
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials` if it exists and the former does
not. See also <<FILES>>.

FILES
-----
If not set explicitly with '--file', there are two files where
git-credential-store will search for credentials in order of precedence:
~/.git-credentials::
User-specific credentials file.
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials::
Second user-specific credentials file. If '$XDG_CONFIG_HOME' is not set
or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/credentials` will be used. Any credentials
stored in this file will not be used if `~/.git-credentials` has a
matching credential as well. It is a good idea not to create this file
if you sometimes use older versions of Git that do not support it.
For credential lookups, the files are read in the order given above, with the
first matching credential found taking precedence over credentials found in
files further down the list.
Credential storage will by default write to the first existing file in the
list. If none of these files exist, `~/.git-credentials` will be created and
written to.
When erasing credentials, matching credentials will be erased from all files.
