Description
We are in a CI environment and can't use UI. We obtain a token for auth to push to Azure Repos, but not sure what's the right way to add the token to Git.
I'm failing to find good documentation on git credential-manager store. It just says you don't need to use it, but it probably implies I'm a regular user in a UI scenario, not a service account on a CI machine.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing documentation for git credential-manager store and the authentication guidance for Azure Repos in CI environments. Done means the documentation clearly explains how a service account can add and use a token without UI access, including any relevant security considerations.
