I need help in configuring Git Credential Helper

I'm trying to setup Git Source Control based on this document but since I'm totally new to the Git, I'm a little be in a trouble.

In the section: Configure Git Credential Helper, the document says the followings:

To use Credential Manager Core on Windows:

1. Download the installer from https://gitforwindows.org/ and run it.
2. In the section on choosing a credential helper, select Git Credential Manager Core.

I installed the git but I'm not sure what the second procedure mean...Where is "the section on choosing a credential helper"? I didn't see such an option during the installation of Git. I also tried looking for it on Git GUI but couldn't find it either... Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. If you know an easier tutorial of the Git setup for MATLAB code, please share it with me.

I'm still not sure about the answer to the question above but I found a better tutorial for beginners:

Hi @Daigo,

You do not need to use an external credential manager for Git when working with MATLAB. The section about setting up a credential manager is optional for the purpose of adding source control to your MATLAB project.

Here are blog and video tutorials of setting up a Git Source Control for your MATLAB project:

• MATLAB Community Blog: https://blogs.mathworks.com/community/2014/10/20/matlab-and-git/
• Tutorial Video from the MATLAB YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7A27uMduo0&ab_channel=MATLAB

Following these tutorials will get you started with adding Git Source Control for your MATLAB project.
