brew install --cask git-credential-manager-core fails

[kyrichen55]

After running

brew tap microsoft/git
brew install --cask git-credential-manager-core

I receive the following error:

==> Running installer for git-credential-manager-core; your password may be nece

I have also attempted to install the package through the .pkg file on the releases page, but I also receive an error that prevents it from installing.

I'm running into this as well.

The last package that actually installs for me is 2.0.498; I kept going backwards from current, and that was the first that worked. I haven't looked to see what changed in the installation scripts, but it appears to be something towards the tail end. I'm on macOS 11.6.2.

Are you running on a new M1 Mac or an Intel Mac? There is a known issue at the moment installing/upgrading GCM on M1 Macs via Homebrew: #574

Update:

After upgrading and updating xcode the gcm was installed with no hiccups.

@fariscs - glad you're unblocked. When you say upgrading, do you mean upgrading your OS?

[FarisSquared]

Yes the OS. But I suspect it had something to do with xcode since running brew doctor gave me a warning about xcode version being (unknown) and outdated

[ldennington]

Got it. I'm going to close this issue given updating XCode (and potentially the OS as well) mitigates it. If others who replied update and it still persists, please feel free to re-open.

nvm the installer returned the same error after manually approved from Settings. But I did found the error in console
