Hi,
Here is my scenario:
1. First I set default username
git config --global credential.username myUsername
2. Then I want to have different username for my other repository
git config --global
credential.https://myOtherRepository.visualstudio.com.username
myOtherUsername
3. When I try to pull new changes, git asks for password of myUsername
Password for 'https://myUsername@myOtherRepository.visualstudio.com':
But I want to have:
Password for 'https://myOtherUsername@myOtherRepository.visualstudio.com':
Is there any way to accomplish overriding?
PS: I've found that if I change steps 1 and 2 I will get what I want.
But this is not a solution as it require to unset and set
credential.username after I add a new credential context. So the
ordering does matter and it looks for me like it shouldn't.

Best regards, Vlad.

Only by changing the ordering in the config file, as you noticed.
The other http.* options will choose the most-specific match, but the
credential code predates that, and blindly goes in config order. Kyle
(cc'd) added the urlmatch support for http.*, and might be able to say
whether it could be adapted for the credential code. If so, then I think
it would need somebody to volunteer to work on it.
That would technically be a backwards-incompatible change to switch the
lookup order at this point in time, but I'm somewhat of the opinion that
in any case it matters, the new behavior would be a strict improvement.
