### Group Policy templates

Windows Group Policy Administrative Templates (ADMX/ADML) for GCM are available
in the [`src/windows/policy-templates`][policy-templates] directory. Copy the
files to the local or domain policy definitions folder:

**Local machine:**

```text
GitCredentialManager.admx → %SystemRoot%\PolicyDefinitions\
en-US\GitCredentialManager.adml → %SystemRoot%\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\
```

**Domain (Active Directory):**

```text
GitCredentialManager.admx → \\<domain>\SYSVOL\<domain>\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\
en-US\GitCredentialManager.adml → \\<domain>\SYSVOL\<domain>\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\
```

After installing the templates, GCM settings appear under
**Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Git Credential Manager**
in the Group Policy Management Editor.

The templates are generated from the [Git configuration][config] reference using
the `generate-admx.ps1` script in the same directory. Re-run the script whenever
the documentation changes to keep the templates up to date.
