Documentation Issue

The path to GCM is no longer, at least for git version 2.43.0.windows.1,
git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-credential-manager.exe"
but
git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Users/XXXX/AppData/local/Programs/Git/mingw64/bin/git-credential-manager.exe"

Link to documentation page

Suggested Improvements

Add a new version section to give the correct path for GCM.

Also the box note implies that all git config in WSL should be repeated for Windows git; is that always true or only for specific config? Clarify and provide both Windows and WSL examples if the recommendation is to keep them in sync.
