If you run

C:\> git config --list --system
credential.helper=manager

and get a setting for credential.helper like above, it will have precedence over gcloud installed credential helper.

You can unset it via (possibly as administrator)

C:\> git config --system --unset credential.helper

Now

C:\> gcloud source repos clone default my_repo

should work and

C:\> cd my_repo
C:\my_repo> git config --list

should display

credential.helper="gcloud.cmd"
