Actually i need some help to connect ubuntu with windows credential manager. Because when I want to push something on my repository ubuntu always want password (Acces token).
I tried git bash and cmd. They're fine with windows credential manager but ubuntu :(.
I tried git config --global user.name and user.email but they're not working.
I added my git account on windows credential manager. But it still same.

I never knew this existed either, but (assuming you're in WSL here) you can point the credential manager to the windows executable like so:
git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core/git-credential-manager-core.exe"
There are a few other config flags you may need to sed, check out the linked doc.

user.namesetting is not a credential and therefore never affects any credentials. Windows credentials are for Windows systems; Linux systems are not Windows and do not use Windows credentials, hence do not use Windows Credential Manager. Do not try to use the Windows credential manager here: use a different credential manager, or use ssh.[git] ubuntu credential manager, you'll find things like this.
