Git Credential Manager Lib
This project uses SponsorLink and may issue IDE-only warnings if no active sponsorship is detected.
Packages the official Git Credential Manager cross-platform credential store implementation supporting Windows, macOS and Linux for use as a NS2.0 library with no UI or external dependencies.
Release version numbers track the GCM releases themselves.
Usage
using GitCredentialManager;
...
ICredentialStore store = CredentialManager.Create("myapp");
// Store a credential
store.AddOrUpdate("https://foo.com", "myusr", "mypwd");
// Retrieve a credential
ICredential cred = store.Get("https://foo.com", "myusr");
Assert.Equal("myusr", cred.Account);
Assert.Equal("mypwd", cred.Password);
The namespace for the CredentialManager static factory class is the same as the official GCM itself
for convenience: GitCredentialManager.
The optional namespace argument (myapp above) can be used to scope credential
operations to your own app/service.
The library targets .NET Standard 2.0 for broad applicability.
Supported credential stores and their configuration is shared with the GCM project itself.
