The tool should accommodate users with more than one account on a github.

For enhanced security and clarity, it's good practice to use different GitHub accounts for projects across separate security boundaries, such as work-related and personal endeavors. Even github.com itself (and the mobile apps) allow you to login to multiple accounts and switch between them. It also appears having a redundant github account might also be a good idea given they may be randomly suspended.

A user with multiple accounts on github who:

• uses more than one github account for different checked out repos
• sets the credential.useHttpPath setting to true
• wants GCM to store credentials specifically for that full repository URL

would benefit from knowing which remote they are being prompted for so they can login with the correct account.

When I open VS Code it triggers git-credential-manager to prompt me to sign in and I have not ideas which repo it's for.
