til you don't need to store sendemail.smtppass in your .gitconfig because it will fetch it from git-credential

git-credential can invoke various helpers to obtain the password:

• a normal password dialog (ssh-askpass)
• from a cleartext file (git-credential-store)
• from a cache (get-credential-cache)* from other helpers, extensible with scripts!

so i can totally make git automatically use my favorite password manager https://www.passwordstore.org/
