The Credential helper setting corresponds to the git config credential.helper command. This setting is only available at the global scope.

  1. From the Git menu, choose Git > Settings and then select the Git Global Settings view to configure this setting.

  2. Set Credential helper to the desired value, and select OK to save.

Valid values are:

  • GCM for Windows: use Git Credential Manager as the helper.
  • GCM Core: use Git Credential Manager Core as the helper.
  • Unset (default): if this setting is unset, the credential helper set in the system config is used. As of Git for Windows 2.29, the default credential helper is GCM Core.
