Description

It seems that brew install docker-credential-helpers installs only docker-credential-osxkeychain and not docker-credential-pass.

Use of pass on MacOS may be desired by some users due to the fact that keychain cannot be used in automation, failing even with ssh and tmux.

Research direction

Start by tracing the brew install docker-credential-helpers entry point and how it selects or packages the docker-credential-osxkeychain and docker-credential-pass binaries. Done means the Homebrew installation makes both helpers available on macOS, with the existing credential-helper behavior preserved.
