How do I install git-credentials-manager?

[gruetter (Adrian Worm)]

I wanted to use git clone to clone a private directory to my computer, but i have to authorize myself. But when running git-credential-manager configure, I get the following output: bash: /usr/local/bin/git-credential-manager: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error How can I use it resp. authorize myself?

Consider using key-based authentication:

• Connecting to GitHub with SSH - GitHub Docs
• Use SSH keys to communicate with GitLab | GitLab

You are trying to run an x86_64 binary on an arm64 system. That won’t work. git-credential-manager doesn’t appear to have arm64 Linux releases, so you have to build it yourself from source.
