Release 2.5.0 is still not on nuget.org

See https://www.nuget.org/packages/git-credential-manager#versions-body-tab

Is there a reason why this is still not on nuget?

If you need to use it exclusively as a library from NS2.0, you can use Devlooped.CredentialManager which provides the portable v2.5.0 implementation.

What I ended up doing was to modify the json file internally and and a rollForward option so it would run on .net 8:

{
  "runtimeOptions": {
    "tfm": "net7.0",
+   "rollForward":"Major",
    "framework": {
      "name": "Microsoft.NETCore.App",
      "version": "7.0.13"
    },
    "configProperties": {
      "System.Reflection.Metadata.MetadataUpdater.IsSupported": false
    }
  }
}

We are currently facing some issues publishing a correctly signed package to Nuget.org. Due to recent sponsorship/corporate funding priority changes, work on GCM has unfortunately slowed significantly.

Please watch this space!

In the meantime, can you at least add a note to the installation instructions not to use the dotnet tool method of installation until further notice?

This is kind of a big deal, seems to me.

Thanks!

Hi is there any progress on releasing new GCM version 2.5.1 to dotnet tool? Currently 2.4.1 is the latest one. Thanks!

Workaround using dotnet tool:

1. Download latest version (.nupkg file) from https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/releases
2. Put downloaded .nuget file in directory of your choice
3. Run dotnet tool update --global git-credential-manager --version 2.5.1 --add-source /path/to/dir/with/nupkg (substitute version with newest)
