Hello to whomever is listening,
Since I am not using this package, I will disown it. As of today (2026-01-11) the package is up to date.
Feel free to poke me for maintenance help and hope someone will pick it up soon!

Sorry for the very late reply, the libs are in the -extras package. Are they required now for the basic functionality?
Hi everyone,
As people have noticed, this package has been left alone and I maintained its clone git-credential-manager since it follows the correct upstream name.
I will submit a merge request, so please migrate to the new package :)
The installation is not coming with the .so libs (harfbuzz and skiasharp) to use with the secretservice, i think that is some problema with the pkgbuild. I've installed with yay btw. Copying these two files from the official gcm tarball to the /usr/lib/share folder resolves the problem.
Git Credential Manager should just stick to LTS .NET versions.
They should have never updated to .NET 7 anyway, because of the short support lifecycle. Everyone is now far too late with updating things properly.
The version on NuGet (which you install as a .NET tool) for .NET 8 is still waiting to be released. I was using that one on my system.
.NET 8 has been released 7 months ago now. If there's such a problem with updating, just take more time. .NET 6 still has support because it's an LTS, so then the whole problem wouldn't have existed. But that's too late now.
It is also a good idea to pin the package to a particular version of the SDK, like extra/marksman from official repo does.
GCM 2.5.0 has updated to .NET 8.0, please update the PKGBUILD as well.
Just curious, why install to /usr/lib/share/$pkgname? I've never seen the /usr/lib/share directory used anywhere. I believe it should be /usr/lib/$pkgname or /opt/$pkgname.
Yep, my mistake. I hope everyone get the corrected PKGBUILD soon. Also hope I won't need an echo number.
