How to determine the version of Git Credential Manager for Windows?

Question

Is there a command or other way to determine the version of Credential Manager in my git installation?

Answer 1

From Git-Credential-Manager's GitHub documentation

Assuming the GCM has been installed, using your favorite Windows console (Command Prompt, PowerShell, ConEmu, etc.), use the following command to interact directly with the GCM.

    git credential-manager [<command> [<args>]]

So to display the current version you can use

    git credential-manager version

If you are using a newer git for Windows version that includes credential-manager-core the command is:

git credential-manager-core --version

Answer 2

As for the most recent version of Git, to check for the current GCM version, use this command line:

git credential-manager --version
