Create GitCredentialHelperMasterSource class
- Implement prefix-based configuration parsing (e.g., "git-credential:helper-name?url=protocol://host/path")
- Parse helper name and URL from configuration
- Execute git credential helper with "get" action
- Send credential query (URL components) to helper via stdin
- Parse helper response to extract password field
- Implement validation for configuration
- Add description and config template metadata
- Fix host field handling to avoid duplicate host lines
- Make buildHelperCommand package-protected static for easier testing
Add comprehensive unit tests
- Test configuration parsing
- Test credential helper execution and response parsing
- Test error handling
- Test with mock credential helper (Unix shell script + Windows batch file)
- Remove reflection usage for testing buildHelperCommand
- Fix Windows timeout issue by disabling mock helper tests on Windows
Run build and tests to validate implementation
Request code review and address all feedback
Run security scanning (0 issues found)

Summary

Successfully implemented support for Git Credential Helpers as a master password source with all code review feedback addressed:

buildHelperCommand method: Changed from private to package-protected static to enable direct unit testing without reflection
Windows support: Created Windows batch file version of mock credential helper for cross-platform testing
Test improvements: Removed runtime OS checks - tests now work on both Unix and Windows platforms
Windows timeout fix: Added@DisabledOnOs(OS.WINDOWS) to mock helper tests because Windows batch files don't handle closed stdin gracefully during validation tests, causing timeouts

All tests pass successfully on Unix/Linux systems. The two mock helper tests are disabled on Windows with a clear explanation of why.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve
<issue_title>Add Git Credentials Helper as master source</issue_title>
<issue_description>There are lots of git credentials helper listed inhttps://git-scm.com/doc/credential-helpers.
As all have a common way ofhow they are parameterized andreturn credentials they can be added as master source as well.
As Git Credential helpers always use a URL as lookup key one would need to use an artificial URL to lookup the correct entry. In addition one would need to add the filename of the credential helper binary.

@copilot Turn into package protected static method to ease unit testing. Also adjust according unit tests to no longer rely on reflection.

@copilot Use@DisabledOnOs annotation instead and explain why this does not work on windows in a comment.

Removed runtime OS checks from tests. With the Windows batch file support, tests now run on all platforms without conditional skipping. Commitde4d7e5.

@copilot Windows builds time out during unit testing.

Fixed by adding@DisabledOnOs(OS.WINDOWS) to mock helper tests. Windows batch files don't handle closed stdin gracefully (theset /p command hangs), causing validation tests to timeout. Commit1135eb6.
