  For solution #1, you may need to perform a couple additional steps:

  1. Edit the .gitconfig for the account used to run the Jenkins Slave process, removing the credential.helper setting.
  2. Reboot the Jenkins Slave machine to ensure no orphan "Windows Git Credential Manager" processes previously started by Jenkins are still running.

  Disabling the credential manager (after uninstalling) in the installation wizard fixed the issue for me!

  Thanks. A new team is using GitHub and Windows for the first time. (Before, GitHub was used with Linux and TFS was used with Windows.) They were running into this issue. It's good to have it fixed.

  uninstalled git and installed it again with "Enable Git Credential Manager" unchecked.

  It worked! You just saved me some hours of working :)

  I like the #3 better, but today I noticed that the Portable one comes with a gitconfig where the helper = manager is provided by default in mingw64\etc\gitconfig:

  [credential]
      helper = manager

  When I use it (hence, Jenkins installs it automatically), the following empty file gets created in the node: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\GitCredentialManager\tenant.cache

  Is this expected?
