bug: git-credential-oauth opens browser tab on each git push

[ThomasMader]

Are you following the right branch?

• My Nixpkgs and Home Manager versions are in sync

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Issue description

I enabled git-credential-oauth with:

programs.git-credential-oauth.enable = true;

It works but everytime I push a new browser tab opens. To my understanding this is because there is no caching enabled. I was able to fix it by writing my own git config instead of using the one generated by Home Manager.
I only added the cache helper line:

[credential]
        helper = "cache --timeout 21600"
        helper = "/nix/store/vf3qr6z3n7446hkqkq5gcvsz90hcijx4-git-credential-oauth-0.13.3/bin/git-credential-oauth"

Maybe I missed an option on how to solve that properly but I think it would be better if that works out of the box.
