The Git Credential Manager for Windows (GCM) provides secure Git credential storage for Windows. It's the successor to the Windows Credential Store for Git (git-credential-winstore), which is no longer maintained. Compared to Git's built-in credential storage for Windows (wincred), which provides single-factor authentication support working on any HTTP enabled Git repository, GCM provides multi-factor authentication support for Visual Studio Team Services, Team Foundation Server, and GitHub.
This project includes:
- Secure password storage in the Windows Credential Store
- Multi-factor authentication support for Visual Studio Team Services
- Two-factor authentication support for GitHub
- Personal Access Token generation and usage support for Visual Studio Team Services and GitHub
- Non-interactive mode support for Visual Studio Team Services backed by Azure Directory
- Kerberos authentication for Team Foundation Server (see notes)
- Optional settings for build agent optimization
