So, I know the basics. One is Windows-specific and one is cross-platform.
My issue is that the documentation says Git Credential Manager Core is part of "Git for Windows". However, whenever I install "Git for Windows" from here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/ or here https://git-scm.com/downloads/win, neither installer uses the Core version. They just use "Git Credentials Manager". When I look up the gitconfig helper settings, it says "
credential.helper=manager
" not "credential.helper=manager-core" as the Internet in all of its wisdom says.When I run "
where git-credential-manager
" it returns C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\mingw64\bin\git-credential-manager.exeWhen I run "
where git-credential-manager-core
" I get "INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).".So, at this point I am not sure. Was GCM core rebranded to just GCM? or am I missing something? How do I get to the point where I am using GCM Core.
