GCM won't work for go repo with private modules about git-credential-manager HOT 3 OPEN

I think go can download modules from dev.azure.com using git with git-credential-manager but it is sensitive to configuration.
I expect the same would be true for orgname.visualstudio.com.

In .gitconfig try:

[credential]
        helper = C:/Program\\ Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-credential-manager.exe
        azreposCredentialType = oauth
[credential "https://dev.azure.com"]
        useHttpPath = true

Also check that the go module path is correct - in particular the path required for dev.azure.com seems to be:
dev.azure.com/orgname/projname/_git/reponame.git/subdir
(note the /_git/ part).

Suggested steps to check the go module path:

• Open the repo web page for the Azure DevOps project, click clone and copy the HTTPS URL.
• Check that the URL works with git clone.
• Check that the Go module has the same format as the HTTPS URL.

go-git does not currently support credential helper scripts or any other external authentication mechanism (that relies on interactivity).

There's an extensive discussion in golang/go#26232 with a proposal and PoC that defines "GOAUTH plugins must return a HttpCredential object as JSON over stdout" as the protocol. There are reference implementations of GOAUTH plugins in golang/tools cmd/auth

I think go can download modules from dev.azure.com using git with git-credential-manager but it is sensitive to configuration.

For the record: I also use the same configuration to go-get private dev.azure.com modules (with a different credential.helper path). It works well for me.
