Support Homebrew installation on Apple Silicon machines
Feature description
The default HOMEBREW_PREFIX is /usr/local on non-Apple silicon machines, and our macOS scripts assume that GCM will be installed in the \share sub-directory located in this path. However, it looks like for Apple Silicon it's been updated to /opt/homebrew. We should update our scripts to account for this scenario. For additional context, see #568.
Unfortunately manual installation doesn't work for me in this case. Taken from the log - sorry I appreciate the log is not that helpful
An error occurred while running scripts from the package “gcm-osx-arm64-2.0.785 (1).pkg”."

Ah yes - I imagine this is related to the changes I'm making here:
https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/pull/798/files
However, it's hard to be sure since I unfortunately do not have an M1 Mac 😬.
I'll wait till the release and see how it goes then and re-post here. I also seemed to have posted the wrong log as thats the arm installation 😢 but it was still the same outcome
Completed with:
https://github.com/mjcheetham/update-homebrew/pull/10 https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/pull/798 https://github.com/microsoft/homebrew-git/pull/66
So, Homebrew did upgrade it but I did get an error that may be of interest
Update
Actually homebrew didn't update it at all but running brew reinstall --cask git-credential-manager-core did sort it.

Same issue for me on my M1 MacBook. Upgrading via the brew upgrade git-credential-manager-core command requires the package to be uninstalled first, but results in the uninstall.sh does not exist error.
To temporarily satisfy the error, I manually created the gcm-core folder under /opt/homebrew/share and placed uninstall.sh file in it. (I assume the paths to symlinks to be different for arm packages) ...and success!
However, even after the upgrade, the issue persists while uninstalling (I assume so as well for future upgrading).
Version:
$ git-credential-manager-core --version

Thanks.
https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/pull/966 should resolve. Sorry for the pain here!
I got around this by:
ln -s /usr/local/share/gcm-core /opt/homebrew/share/gcm-core
brew uninstall --cask git-credential-manager-core
brew install git-credential-manager-core
Thanks @codyzu ! I'm guessing one should also rm /opt/homebrew/share/gcm-core to cleanup the hack.
What helped me was running those commands.
xcode-select --install brew install gcc
