To install the Git Credential Manager, download and double-click the GCMW-1.6.0.exe installer. It is that easy, it will even install Git for Windows 2.9.2 and the Microsoft .Net Framework for you if necessary.

For non-installation or custom installation needs, download the gcmw-v1.6.0.zip archive and expand its contents. Use the included install.cmd or options provided via git-credential-manager install to complete setup.
