How do we set git config entries?

[floydpink]

Is there an API to set git config entries?

I am trying to set the credential.helper to store --file=<credentials-file> that would enable OAuth token based access to a GitHub repository.

Thanks

did you get this working?

[floydpink]

No, I did not. Since I did not get any answers here, I ended up using the OAuth token (from an ENV variable) into the clone URL

[kellyrmilligan]

ah, I was going to suggest that as I ended up doing the same thing just now.
