Git Plugin Does not make use of Git Credential Manager

[super-structure]

Though we can work around this limitation, it would be very helpful if GIt's Credential Manager could be utilized by the Git plugin. This makes for seamless integration with the Git command line as well as some other desktop applications, such as Git Extensions. However, Oxygen's Git Plugin doesn't seem to recognize the credentials and always ask for additional logins/tokens. But the credential manager will generate the tokens automatically if it can be connected.

Hello,

The Git Client uses JGit library to connect to the Git repositories and from what I'm researched JGit doesn't support Windows Credential Manager. Git Client 5.3.0 has support for ssh-agent, so you could use that as a workaround to avoid tokens/passwords.

Best regards,
Alex

Hi super-structure,

Adding to what Alex suggested, we register SSH keys with the Git server and it works very well. The server recognizes each user by their key and there is no need to authenticate. If this sounds interesting but you are not sure how to do it, let me know and I can try to help.
