(Azure DevOps only) What format is your remote URL?

None

Can you access the remote repository directly in the browser?

Yes, I can access the repository

Expected behavior

git-credential-manager installs, and I am able to clone repositories from BitBucket Cloud and GitHub.

Actual behavior

I'm trying to install via homebrew, per the instructions.

Here is what I get, in Terminal:
The install failed. (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. An error occurred while running scripts from the package “gcm-osx-x64-2.6.1.pkg”.)
