The git setting that points to this helper is now keyed on `http:\/\/127.0.0.1:<port>` instead of `http:\/\/localhost:<port>`.\n\n**Why**\n\nGit picks a credential helper by matching the exact address it is connecting to. The setting has to use the same address as the proxy, or git will not use the helper and the credentials are not found.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
