## How to use

Git Credential Manager Core is called implicitly by Git, when so configured. It is not intended to be called directly by the user.
For example, when pushing (`git push`) to [Azure DevOps](https://dev.azure.com), a window is automatically opened and an OAuth2 flow is started to get your personal access token.
Once it's installed and configured, Git Credential Manager Core is called implicitly by Git.
You don't have to do anything special, and GCM Core isn't intended to be called directly by the user.
For example, when pushing (`git push`) to [Azure DevOps](https://dev.azure.com), [Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org), or [GitHub](https://github.com), a window will automatically open and walk you through the sign-in process.
(This process will look slightly different for each Git host, and even in some cases, whether you've connected to an on-premises or cloud-hosted Git host.)
Later Git commands in the same repository will re-use existing credentials or tokens that GCM Core has stored for as long as they're valid.

Read full command line usage [here](docs/usage.md).
