Research direction

Start with src/shared/Core/CommandContext.cs at line 155 and reproduce the reported PlatformNotSupportedException on FreeBSD 13.2 using the version and clone commands in the issue. Trace the platform assumptions involved; done means GCM's version and credential operations work on FreeBSD without the reported crash.

Feature description

Hey. We're being told to migrate to git-credential-manager; but develop on FreeBSD. I was able to install GCM, but it appears to not work. Can we get support? Thanks!
