https://github.com/upleveled/system-setup/blob/main/linux.md Tried this comment:

curl -L https://aka.ms/gcm/linux-install-source.sh | sh
git-credential-manager-core configure

This leads to:

$ curl -L https://aka.ms/gcm/linux-install-source.sh | sh

With no chance to answer anything. Therefore the next step also doesn't work

Interesting, these are the official installation instructions

If you could re-report this over in their repository, that may be helpful for them. I would suggest:

mention that you were following the instructions "Install from source helper script"
mention your operating system
link to https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/blob/release/docs/install.md#install-2

Maybe the alternative installation method to install the .deb file using dpkg would help?

CornaSn commented 4 months ago

Installing via package works.

But it seems you could install it via rpm so maybe this is a better approach:

https://github.com/microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Mac-and-Linux/blob/master/Install.md#installing-on-linux-using-rpm-recommended

sudo rpm --install git-credential-manager-2.0.4-1.noarch.rpm
git-credential-manager install

The link you posted above is to the old archived repo, which was archived in 2022 (check the notice at the top of the page)

So I would say probably:

[ ] the issue with installing from source should be reported in their repo
[ ] in the meantime, before it's fixed, we should change our System Setup instructions to use the .deb file instead

karlhorky commented 3 months ago

@CornaSn any news here? Did you manage to get it installed with the .deb file?

CornaSn commented 3 months ago

Yes I installed it with the .deb file and it worked
