If you don't get a list of git commands, then it's not set up correctly.įinally, launch a command prompt and type: An easy way to test this is to launch a command prompt and type Next, make sure that the directory containing

Some versions of the Git for Windows installer (e.g. Since msysgit has been superseded by Git for Windows, using Git for Windows is now the easiest option.
You can follow the Java ALM team on Twitter or on Facebook.This doesn’t work for Windows systems as git-credential-cache communicates through a Unix socket. The PAT is then stored in a file under your home directory (protected by your individual file system permissions) and will be used for future accesses to the remote Git repositories so that you are not repeatedly asked to sign in.Īt any time, you can revoke the Personal Access Token through your VSTS profile settings:įor more information, see the GCM documentation on the VSTS Java site or go browse the GCM source code on GitHub. This allows the GCM to use the OAuth access token to create a VSTS Personal Access Token (PAT) scoped for vso.code_write, effectively granting Git permission to read and write to your Git repositories hosted in VSTS. Secondary factors of authentication in VSTS can be configured per-account and include phone calls, SMS, or mobile app notifications.Īfter installing the GCM, when connecting to a remote Git repository hosted in VSTS for the first time, the GCM will open a web browser window so that you can authenticate and authorize access to your account (via OAuth 2.0): Compared to Git’s built-in credential storage (such as wincred for Windows), which provides single-factor authentication support for remote Git repositories, the GCM provides multi-factor authentication support for VSTS (and soon GitHub). The GCM is a Git credential helper that assists with multi-factor authentication. We ported this tool to Mac and Linux to simplify their authentication to remote Git repositories, in particular those hosted in Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). This follows the release of the GCM for Windows. Are you tired of typing in a user name and password every time you fetch from or push to remote Git repositories? Me too! We have good news! Today we are announcing the open-source release of the Git Credential Manager (GCM) for Mac and Linux.
