Another instance of KeePassXC is already running

first off thanks for the software!

i'm trying to configure it and perhaps i did something wrong on the way, if you could point where that would be really cool.

i did configure with: git-credential-keepassxc configure,

having this file:

{
  "databases": [
    {
      "id": "git-credential-keepassxc",
      "key": "xxx",
      "pkey": "xxx",
      "group": "Git",
      "group_uuid": "xxx"
    }
  ],
  "callers": [
    {
      "path": "/nix/store/j7cfd6hwir1hiqr9v774ng108py9x71q-zsh-5.8/bin/zsh",
      "uid": 1000,
      "gid": 100,
      "canonicalize": false
    }
  ]
}

keepassxc asked for a connection name, that went smoothly. it did create Git sub-directory in keepassxc.

(do i need to configure my credentials manually or it should ask/save with prompts?)

from git config:

...
[credential]
        helper = "/nix/store/07f8mwjp8458nz28r03rdcp2jkwrpjli-keepassxc-2.6.4/bin/keepassxc"
...

(i'm having double thoughts about this, should not we be configuring git-credentials-keepassxc instead of the backend itself: keepassxc ?)

while running git push i'm getting:

QLocalSocket::waitForDisconnected() is not allowed in UnconnectedState

If you had followed Readme, the resulting ~/.gitconfig would have been

[credential]
        helper = keepassxc -v

instead of what you've got currently.

Names of all Git credential helpers, of course including this project, start with git-credential-, and this prefix is omitted from .gitconfig.

For example, https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential-cache (executable is /usr/lib/git-core/git-credential-cache under Arch):

SYNOPSIS

git config credential.helper 'cache []'

Or if you want to use absolute path, it should be the path to git-credential-keepassxc instead as you thought.
