About:
Git Credential Manager (GCM) is a secure, cross-platform credential helper that simplifies authentication for Git. It securely stores credentials for multiple hosting providers like GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps, and supports modern authentication methods including multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO).
Key Features:
  • Secure credential storage with encryption
  • Support for multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • Cross-platform compatibility (macOS, Linux, Windows)
  • Integration with platform-specific keychains
  • Support for multiple Git hosting providers
Use Cases:
  • Managing credentials securely across multiple Git hosting services
  • Enabling MFA-protected Git operations in enterprise environments
  • Streamlining authentication workflows for developers using multiple accounts
Alternatives:
  • ssh-agent – SSH-based authentication, less convenient for HTTPS Git URLs
  • osxkeychain – macOS-only, lacks cross-platform and MFA support
