Expected behavior

I am authenticated and my Git operation completes successfully.

Actual behavior

Following the setup steps for Linux in WSL2 Ubuntu 18.04, I cannot even get the plaintext store to work. I see the following when trying to clone a private repo from github.com. Inputting a PAT does not store the token and ~/.gcm/store is not created. I've had similar issues with the gpg/pass setup. (Tried avoiding gpg for the moment just to see if I could get the simpler plaintext setup in place -- I think something else is going on, though.) I did the setup via the .deb package.

Logs

Set the environment variables GCM_TRACE=1 and GIT_TRACE=1 and re-run your Git command. Review and redact any private information and attach the log.

Log is attached.
