git-credential manager for windows with cygwin

git-credential manager for windows with cygwin.txt

As of git version 2.28:
- you do not need to copy files anywhere, simply configuring `credential.helper` to `manager`
  works if the credential manager is installed
- you do not need to install GCMW separately. It is an optional component with Git for Windows. It will be
  installed by default with Git for Windows 2.29.

Get the GCMW's latest release, download the zip file (not the installer), extract it's contents (only .dll and .exe files are needed) to
C:\cygwin\usr\libexec\git-core\ for 32-bit Cygwin, or C:\cygwin64\usr\libexec\git-core\ for 64-bit Cygwin. Reference

To tell git to use GCMW, execute: git config --global credential.helper manager

To get GUI prompts for credentials, execute: git config --global credential.modalprompt true

If you want this to be a per-repository setting, remove the --global option.
