To disable the Git Credentials Manager in Visual Studio 2017, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open Visual Studio Options:

    • Open Visual Studio.
    • Go to the "Tools" menu.
    • Select "Options."

  2. Navigate to Git Settings:

    • In the "Options" window, expand the "Source Control" section from the left menu.
    • Select "Git Global Settings."

  3. Uncheck "Enable Git Credential Manager":

    • In the Git Global Settings window, you'll find a checkbox labeled "Enable Git Credential Manager." Uncheck this checkbox.

  4. Apply Changes:

    • After unchecking the checkbox, click the "OK" button to apply the changes.

This will disable the Git Credential Manager for Visual Studio 2017, and you won't be prompted to enter credentials using the Git Credential Manager anymore. Note that this will affect all Git repositories you use with Visual Studio on your machine. If you want to use an alternative method for storing and managing Git credentials, you can explore options like SSH keys or caching credentials using the Git command-line tools.
