grit manager (get | store | erase)
Description
A Git credential helper backed by the Windows Credential Manager. You don't run it yourself: Git and grit run it when they need a password or token. It speaks Git's credential helper protocol, reading the request on stdin and, for get, writing the credentials it found on stdout.
grit auth sets credential.helper to grit manager on Windows when no other helper is configured. To set it up yourself:
> grit config --global credential.helper "grit manager"It works only on Windows. On other systems it exits with an error.
