How to install git-credential-manager core without sudo

This will install the Git Credential Manager Core without requiring sudo access. It will be installed to $HOME/usr/bin and $HOME/usr/lib.

Ensure that $HOME/usr/bin is in your $PATH and $HOME/usr/lib is in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

wget https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/releases/download/v2.6.0/gcm-linux_amd64.2.6.0.tar.gz
tar xzvf gcm-linux_amd64.2.6.0.tar.gz
# Create directories if they don't exist
mkdir -p $HOME/usr/bin
mkdir -p $HOME/usr/lib
# Move files to appropriate directories
mv git-credential-manager $HOME/usr/bin/
mv libHarfBuzzSharp.so $HOME/usr/lib/
mv libSkiaSharp.so $HOME/usr/lib/

Now you can let the Git Credential Manager Core configure itself:

$HOME/usr/bin/git-credential-manager configure

Example output:
