A command to stop using the credentials and possibly also clean them up

Does anyone knows how to deactivate the Github authentication app once it has been activated? I am trying to push to a repository that doesn’t have the app installed and of which I am not owner . I can just wait 8 hours and push with my GH token, but I would like to know if there is another way of doing this. Thank you!

I concluded he could remove a section from his .gitconfig looking like this accomplish that.

[credential "https://github.com/"]
	helper = store --file=/tmp/tmp3z__u6za

That configuration was added by this section.

gh-scoped-creds/gh_scoped_creds/__init__.py

Lines 97 to 106 in 1f7947d

	# Tell git to use our new creds when talking to github
	subprocess.check_call(
	[
	"git",
	"config",
	"--global", # Modifies ~/.gitconfig
	"credential.https://github.com.helper",
	f"store --file={f.name}",
	]
	)

Maybe it can make sense to have a command to clean that configuration change and the associated credentials?
