Credential helpers are no longer invoked in case of having sub-folder parts in a repository URL. Since 2.26.1 version

[Ilya Tretyakov <it@it3xl.ru>]

Credential helpers are no longer invoked in case of having sub-folder
parts in a repository URL.

For example, if we have a "/my-proj/" part in the repository URL.
The following configuration doesn't invoke a credential helper script
in 2.26.1 version of Git but invokes in 2.24.1.2.

[credential "https://git.exaple.com/my-proj/my-repo.git"]
    helper = !'/c/some-path/bash-git-credential-helper/git-cred.sh'
provide  repo_b


A workaround here is to cut the URL to a root view.
For example, we can use https://git.exaple.com/
instead of https://git.exaple.com/my-proj/ or
https://git.exaple.com/my-proj/my-repo.git
as below.

[credential "https://git.exaple.com/"]
    helper = !'/c/some-path/bash-git-credential-helper/git-cred.sh'
provide  repo_b

BTW, the following configuration still works in all Git versions.

[credential "https://foo.bar/my-repo.git"]
    helper = !'/c/some-path/bash-git-credential-helper/git-cred.sh'
provide  repo_a

If this would be possible, please let me know if this could be fixed
in future Git versions.
Or that I have to adopt my tools, described below, to this new
configuration limitation.

JFYI,
I have a tool to synchronize remote Git repositories. This is when two
remote repositories on different servers behave as a single
repository.
 - https://github.com/it3xl/git-repo-sync
I often use this tool with my own bash credential helper on different
automation servers.
 - https://github.com/it3xl/bash-git-credential-helper
And now, my Git-credential helper isn't invoked for repositories that
have additional parts in their URLs.

Of course, I've found a workaround but some people may want to
configure more specific credentials for specific URL-s on the same
domain.

I am aware of the latest vulnerability discovered in the
Git-credential helper functionality.
I hope this was the cause of the trouble I described here. ))
