Well that doesn't seem right at all now does it.
Thanks for the report, hopefully get to the bottom of things asap.
Same for me. I've installed GCMW-1.10.1.exe (Next, Next), nothing was asked (the doc says "When prompted to select your terminal emulator for Git Bash" - but nothing is prompted).
Nothing was added into .gitconfig
.
And nothing works. (authentication failed). It's expected as installed didn't add [credential]
.
And it's for 2 months, gents. I can't understand why it's stated that this project is replacement for http://gitcredentialstore.codeplex.com/..
I can't understand why it's stated that this project is replacement for http://gitcredentialstore.codeplex.com/..
Because the previous project is unsupported. The standalone installation process is a "nice to have" feature from a prioritization point of view. The primary installation method for the GCM is the Git for Windows installer.
The thing is that I installed Git for Windows via chocolatey (as choco install git
) and it didn't setup GCM for me. Standalone installer doesn't work either. So it's hard to understand how one should install GCM into git. With good old credstore it was a bit clearer - just run git-credential-winstore.exe
.
For anyone who stumbled over the same issue - just add this into your global .gitconfig
:
[credential]
helper = manager
@evil-shrike by any chance, is git.exe not on your %PATH%
?
@whoisj no, it's in PATH
for sure.
@evil-shrike thanks for the confirmation. Helps me narrow down exactly what's going wrong.
had the same issue as @evil-shrike nothing was happening and this was when trying to access a VSTS repo.
My git installation is the official git-for-windows.
What sorted it out was adding the helper = manager
to my .gitconfig 🎉
I downloaded and installed GCMW-1.9.0.exe. It claimed to install correctly. But nothing happened.
Nothing was added to my windows crediential manager. And here's the output of git config --list and where git
