The [Git Credential Manager for Windows](https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows) (GCM) provides secure Git credential storage for Windows. It's the successor to the [Windows Credential Store for Git](https://gitcredentialstore.codeplex.com/) (git-credential-winstore), which is no longer maintained. Compared to Git's built-in credential storage for Windows ([wincred](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Credential-Storage)), which provides single-factor authentication support working on any HTTP enabled Git repository, GCM provides multi-factor authentication support for [Visual Studio Team Services](https://www.visualstudio.com/), [Team Foundation Server](Docs/Faq.md#q-i-thought-microsoft-was-maintaining-this-why-does-the-gcm-not-work-as-expected-with-tfs), GitHub, and Bitbucket.
