Git Credential Manager (User)

GitHub · Git.GCM

Secure, cross-platform Git credential storage with authentication to GitHub, Azure Repos, and other popular Git hosting services.

Git Credential Manager (GCM) is a secure Git credential helper built on .NET that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It aims to provide a consistent and secure authentication experience, including multi-factor auth, to every major source control hosting service and platform. GCM supports (in alphabetical order) Azure DevOps, Azure DevOps Server (formerly Team Foundation Server), Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab. Compare to Git's built-in credential helpers (Windows: wincred, macOS: osxkeychain, Linux: gnome-keyring/libsecret), which provide single-factor authentication support for username/password only. GCM replaces both the .NET Framework-based Git Credential Manager for Windows and the Java-based Git Credential Manager for Mac and Linux.

Release Notes

Announcements: Note This is planned to be the last release major release that supports Windows 7 and 8.x. We will be moving off of .NET Framework to .NET (Core) on Windows this year. Changes:

  • Emit new warning when Git has built-in NTLM support disabled. As part of the fix for CVE-2025-66413, Git for Windows now disables built-in NTLM support by default. Only if http.allowNTLMAuth is explicitly enabled will Git use NTLM authentication. GCM will now display a warning message when it detects this scenario and presents options for re-enabling NTLM.
