How to install CredManStore extension?

[Korijn]

In the repo the credmanstore extension is in a subfolder, but it's not available on the powershell gallery. How am I supposed to use it? Git clone and install from path?

I've been using this extension and it works well: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/SecretManagement.JustinGrote.CredMan/1.0.0

Seems crazy that Microsoft have not published this extension, instead forcing us down the route of using a third party package, for those of us who must jump through corporate security hoops this feels unnecessary.

We are teased with examples listing availability of the 'Microsoft.PowerShell.CredManStore' module, but ultimately no guidance is provided on how to achieve this, very disappointing.

@PaulHigin What is the plan for CredManStore?

[PaulHigin]

It was decided (not my call) to not support a CredMan extension vault module, but just provide it as an example extension vault, and to leave it to third parties for publish/support if there is a desire for it.
