Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows

Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows copied to clipboard

So I've been unable to get GCMW to even act like it's installed at all. The exe installer completed with no errors. Running git commands gives no error messages, but my git passwords were never getting remembered either. I tried git credential-manager install. Running it gave a simple deployment failed. U_U. Eventually I discovered GCM_TRACE=1 and was able to see some errors.

So now I am at a point where I see install is failing because of a lock on a file. Far as I can tell, the install command itself is locking the file in question. I believe this because I deleted the file, ran the install again, and got a different error. I put the file back, and again received the "used by another process" error.

Here is a transcript of running the install command three times, where the second time the file C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\libexec\git-core\AzureDevOps.Authentication.dll had been deleted.

I am unsure how to proceed here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
