However there are some known problematic releases of -Git that are not compatible. - -- Git 1.x - - The initial major version of Git is not supported or tested with GCM. - -- Git 2.26.2 - - This version of Git introduced a breaking change with parsing credential - configuration that GCM relies on. This issue was fixed in commit - [`12294990`][gcm-commit-12294990] of the Git project, and released in Git - 2.27.0. - -## How to use - -Once it's installed and configured, Git Credential Manager is called implicitly -by Git. You don't have to do anything special, and GCM isn't intended to be -called directly by the user. For example, when pushing (`git push`) to -[Azure DevOps][azure-devops], [Bitbucket][bitbucket], or [GitHub][github], a -window will automatically open and walk you through the sign-in process. (This -process will look slightly different for each Git host, and even in some cases, -whether you've connected to an on-premises or cloud-hosted Git host.) Later Git -commands in the same repository will re-use existing credentials or tokens that -GCM has stored for as long as they're valid. - -Read full command line usage [here][gcm-usage]. - -### Configuring a proxy - -See detailed information [here][gcm-http-proxy]. - -## Additional Resources - -See the [documentation index][docs-index] for links to additional resources. - -## Experimental Features - -- [Windows broker (experimental)][gcm-windows-broker] - -## Future features - -Curious about what's coming next in the GCM project?
