Documentation Issue

When describing how to setup Git Credential Manager using Git for Windows, the documentation says

git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core/git-credential-manager-core.exe"

as of Git for Windows build 2.36.1 that path no longer works as git-credential-manager-core.exe has been moved to mingw65/bin. See git-for-windows/build-extra#406

Link to documentation page

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/wsl-git#git-credential-manager-setup

Suggested Improvements

Another snippet such as the one below should be added to direct users to the correct path if they have an updated copy of git for windows.

git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-credential-manager-core.exe"
