Description

I.e. You download the file as docker-credential-pass-v0.9.3.linux-amd64 but docker expects the binary to be called docker-credential-pass. This should be included in the docs.

Research direction

Find the installation guide and read the section describing downloaded credential helpers. Document that a file such as docker-credential-pass-v0.9.3.linux-amd64 must be renamed to docker-credential-pass before Docker can use it. Done means the expected binary name and rename step are clear in the guide.
