Description
The current Windows installer just drops the GCM Core binaries in %ProgramFiles%. We should also look at setting the credential.helper
configuration entry, as well as the required useHttpPath = true
entry for dev.azure.com remotes.
A few options include:
- Replicate GCM Windows and introduce an
install
command that discovers all Git installations (including msys installs?) and copies itself into the directory, and sets thecredential.helper = manager
- Set the current user's
~/.gitconfig
to:
[credential]
helper = # empty value first to reset the helper list from --system
helper = <path/to/gcmcore>
- Put
%ProgramFiles%\Git Credential Manager
on the%PATH%
? (problem: how do we support side-by-side GCM Core and GCM Windows if they're both calledgit-credential-manager.exe
?) - Something else?
These options require answering the question about should GCM Core be a machine-wide or user-scoped install?
