Improve caching-your-github-credentials-in-git.md based on my confusion #34711
Conversation
Adding section about other Git credential helpers, and mention OAuth. This is based on my difficulties understanding how to get OAuth authentication from my local Git installation. The current content does not mention OAuth, or the need for organisation approval of OAuth apps not pre-approved by GitHub. Both those omissions caused obstacles for me. This is the content I wished I had at the time.
