About Git Credential Manager (User)
Git Credential Manager is a cross-platform credential helper for Git, built on .NET and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It stores credentials for Git hosting services and provides a consistent authentication experience, including multi-factor authentication. This allows Git operations to authenticate without requiring users to repeatedly enter credentials through the same process each time. The tool supports authentication with services including Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab, as well as other popular hosting platforms. It serves as a helper for Git’s authentication process rather than a graphical repository manager. The supplied information describes secure credential storage but does not detail the exact storage mechanism on each operating system or every supported authentication flow. Compatibility can vary by hosting service and configuration.
