your quoting is off, so you are passing to config only the value 'store' while
the rest is ignored.

what you really meant to use is probably :

  git config credential.helper "store --file=$PWD/git-credentials"

note that using a relative path might not be what you really want, as the
context for when that is run will not be what you expected most likely (ex:
the root of your repository)

> is not working. When using this command, git writes to ~/.git-credentials in the home folder anyway.

note that credential.helper is a multi value setting, so you probably also want
to clear the list first, if your intention was to only use that file and not the
one in ~/.git-credentials.

see `git help gitcredentials` for details
