Microsoft Git Credential Manager for Windows

The Microsoft Git Credential Manager for Windows is a software that stores and retrieves user credentials for Git services on Windows. It is developed by Microsoft Corporation and is designed to simplify login processes and enhance security for Git users.

The software stores user credentials such as usernames and passwords in an encrypted format in the Windows Credential Store. When a user attempts to authenticate with a Git service, the software retrieves the appropriate credentials and passes them along to the service. This eliminates the need for users to enter their credentials every time they interact with a Git repository.

The Microsoft Git Credential Manager for Windows supports both Personal Access Token (PAT) and OAuth authentication methods. It is compatible with most Git services, including GitHub, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps.
