Summary
This post introduces the Git Credential Manager for Windows, enhancing authentication support for multi-factor authentication and security tokens. It also details improvements to line ending handling, making Git commands faster by default with FSCache enabled, and making `git.exe` available from all command-lines by default. Other improvements include better diagnostics for line endings and faster Git commands with `core.untrackedCache=true`.
