Description
Git is set up, just like this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/wsl-git
I am using WSL Ubuntu 24.04.
Windows and Linux both have Git in Version 2.47.1
This error doesn't appear on Windows, just from WSL.
Steps to reproduce: (Works with all repos i think)
Open Wsl.
make a dir to work in and cd into it.
git clone https://github.com/routerdieb/java11TxtTimebox main
cd main
git worktree add ../test123
cd ..
cd test123
git pull (or git push doesnt matter here)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the listed clone and worktree commands in WSL Ubuntu 24.04, then compare the same worktree operations on Windows. Inspect the exact failure from git pull or git push and how Git Credential Manager is invoked; done means both commands work from the WSL worktree without the repository error.
