#' List all credentials stored by a git credential helper
#'
#' This function is meant to be used interactively, to help you when
#' configuring credential helpers. It is especially useful if you have
#' multiple accounts on a host.
#'
#' Note that this function does not use the credential helper itself,
#' so it does not have to be installed. But it may also give false
#' results, so interpret the results with caution, and also use the tool
#' provided by your OS, to look at the credentials: 'Keychain Access'
#' on macOS and 'Credential Manager' on Windows.
#'
#' Only a small number of credential helpers are supported currently.
#' Here is a brief description of each.
#'
#' ## `osxkeychain` on macOS
#'
#' This is the default credential helper on macOS.
#'
#' It has some peculiarities:
#' * If you don't specify a username in the URL, then it will return the
#' _oldest_ credentials that match the specified host name, with an
#' arbitrary user name.
#' * If the user name is specified in the URL, then it is used to look up
#' the credentials.
#'
#' To change or delete the listed credentials, see the oskeyring package
#' or the 'Keychain Access' macOS app.
#'
#' ## `manager`, on Windows
#'
#' This is Git Credential Manager for Windows, see
#' https://github.com/microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows
#'
#' It is currently the default helper on Windows, included in the git
#' installer.
#'
#' It has some oddities, especially with multiple GitHub users:
#' * The `github` authority (which is used by default for `github.com`
#'   URLs) cannot handle multiple users. It always sets the `target_name`
#'   of the Windows credential to `git:<URL>` where `<URL>` does not
#'   contain the user name. Since `target_name` is a primary key, it is
#'   not possible to add multiple GitHub users with the default
#'   configuration.
#' * To support multiple users, switch to the `Basic` authority, e.g. by
#'   setting the `GCM_AUTHORITY` env var to `Basic`. Then the user name
#'   will be included in `target_name`, and everything works fine.
#' * For this helper `gitcreds_list()` lists all records with a matching
#'   host name.
#'
#' ## `manager-core` on Windows
#'
#' This is Git Credential Manager Core, see
#' https://github.com/microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-Core
#'
#' On Windows it behaves almost the same way as `manager`, with some
#' differences:
#' * Instead of _authorities_, it has providers. `github.com` URLs use the
#'   `github` provider by default. For better support for multiple GitHub
#'   accounts, switch to the `generic` provider by setting the
#'   `GCM_PROVIDER` env var to `generic`.
#' * `gitcreds_list()` will list all credentials with a matching host,
#'   irrespectively of the user name in the input URL.
#'
#' ## `manager-core`, _before_ version 2.0.246-beta, on macOS
#'
#' This is Git Credential Manager Core, see
#' https://github.com/microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-Core
#'
#' This helper has some peculiarities w.r.t. user names:
#' * If the "github" provider is used (which is the default for
#'   `github.com` URLs), then it completely ignores user names, even if
#'   they are explicitly specified in the query.
#' * For other providers, the user name (if specified) is saved in the
#'   Keychain item.
#' * For this helper, `gitcreds_list()` always lists all records that
#'   match the _host_, even if the user name does not match, because it
#'   is impossible to tell if the user name would be used in a proper
#'   git credential lookup.
#'
#' To change or delete the listed credentials, see the oskeyring package
#' or the 'Keychain Access' macOS app.
#'
#' ## `manager-core`, version 2.0.246-beta or newer, on macOS
#'
#' This is a newer version of Git Credential Manager Core, that supports
#' multiple users better:
#' * if a user name is provided, then it saves it in the credential store,
#'   and it uses this user name for looking up credentials, even for the
#'   `github` provider.
#' * `gitcreds_list()` always lists all records that match the host, even
#'   if the user name does not match.
#' * Credentials that were created by an older version of `manager-core`,
#'   with the `generic` provider, do not work with the newer version of
#'   `manager-core`, because the format of the Keychain item is different.
#'
#' @param credential_helper Credential helper to use. If this is `NULL`,
#'   then the configured credential helper is used. If multiple credential
#'   helpers are configured, then the first one is used, with a warning.
#' @param url URL to list credentials for. If `NULL` then the credentials
#'   are listed for all URLs. Note that for a host the results might be
#'   different if you specify or omit this argument. `gitcreds_list()`
#'   uses heuristics when the `url` is not specified. If is always best to
#'   specify the URL.
#' @param protocol Protocol to list credentials for. If `NULL` and `url`
#'   includes a protocol then that is used. Otherwise `"https"` is used.
#' @return A list of `oskeyring_macos_item` objects. See
#'   [oskeyring::macos_item()].
