Git-credential-manager-for-windows: Multiple accounts

[ALIENQuake]

Hi,

I'ts very unclear to me what steps I should preform to enter username+password for all my accounts and never need to reenter them again when I preform various git operations from Command-line/GUI?

Can someone point me to detailed instruction?

You should be prompted when you need to enter them. Once entered, the credentials are stored securely by your operating system, and reused by Git until they expire; at which point you'll be prompted again.

I’m so sorry for this mix-up. It was never my attention to creat dubbel acounts. When I was several day’s in the hospital my son install a VPN connectie for acces to servers for gaming. The problem was, he didn’t told me, it was after a few day’s that I saw VPN in the front of adressbox. I will remove the program and hope that it’s solved. Friendly greetings From Antwerp,Merksem in Belgium.

I am not prompted for any credentials. The reason may be that I have a globally installed certificate on my work computer. But now I need to push to a repository with different credentials. How do I override that from this one repository?

[whoisj]

@thomaseyde if Git isn't asking the GCM or you for credentials, I'm not sure how to override the behavior.

Perhaps you could use the <username>@<url> format for your host name, and that might hint Git to use alternate credentials?

[ALIENQuake]

@whoisj I had to use:

[credential] helper = manager useHttpPath = true

to force GCM behavior to store Windows "Credential Manager" credential URL as:

git:https://github.com/ALIENQuake/<Repository>.git

but the problem with this approach is that now GCM will skip default credential entry of 'git:https://github.com'

Do you see a way for GCM to always try default creditials and if it fails, ask to store it under 'git:https://github.com/ALIENQuake/.git' Windows "Credential Manager" credential URL?

[whoisj]

@ALIENQuake sounds like a very good enhancement. Perhaps you could craft a pull-request for such a feature?

[ALIENQuake]

@whoisj I would like but I know only basics of c#. I'm just an user who always see the way for one less click/action.

@ALIENQuake understood, I've been there myself. I probably couldn't "Hello world" with 95% of languages out there, so I definitely understand. At the same time, please understand that without the added developer contributions this item will land on the backlog and I'll get to it at some future date.

Thanks again!
