Git Credential Manager for Windows - 1.6.0
In this release:
- Upgraded the version of Azure Directory Authentication Library used for Visual Studio Team Services authentication.
- Added support for Environmental Variable setting of options.
- Added support for GIT_ASKPASS, specifically for Git's use of askpass to retrieve SSH key phrases.
- Added support for clearing stored credentials from the command line.
- Added support for custom credential storage namespaces, users are no longer forced to use the "git:" namespace.
Bug Fixes
- Now correctly clears configuration values when values in the user's Git configuration are empty.
- Now correctly handles Unicode characters in usernames and passwords, including German umlauts.
To install the Git Credential Manager, download and double-click the GCMW-1.6.0.exe installer. It is that easy, it will even install Git for Windows 2.9.2 and the Microsoft .Net Framework for you if necessary.
For non-installation or custom installation needs, download the gcmw-v1.6.0.zip archive and expand its contents. Use the included install.cmd or options provided via git-credential-manager install to complete setup.
