Git for Windows ships with the default credential helper as Git Credential Manager Core, which will try to log in to some of the most popular services with a native token. However, this is not a part of core Git. Folks who would like to use this credential manager are welcome to do so, in which case it will work for some services, but there's no way to automatically do this in the general case, because it isn't guaranteed that a Git server provides an automatic way to get a token. For example, my personal Git server uses only Kerberos authentication and doesn't issue tokens of any sort. -- brian m. carlson (he/him or they/them) Toronto, Ontario, CA
