Things in contrib are not built by default because they don't
necessarily work everywhere. For example, the osxkeychain credential
helper won't compile on Linux because the requisite shared libraries
are specific to macOS. You'll need to compile them manually and install
them in a suitable location.
Note that that location can be someplace like ~/bin, if that's in your
PATH. For example, since the Debian packages don't yet ship the
libsecret credential helper, I've built it and placed it there. Now
that I've done that, git help -a shows git credential-libsecret as an
option.
