From Git-Credential-Manager's GitHub documentation
Assuming the GCM has been installed, using your favorite Windows console (Command Prompt, PowerShell, ConEmu, etc.), use the following command to interact directly with the GCM.
git credential-manager [<command> [<args>]]
So to display the current version you can use
git credential-manager version
If you are using a newer git for Windows version that includes credential-manager-core the command is:
git credential-manager-core --version

@Ray Megal, I think that the "correct" name regardless if it's Windows or not, is "credential-manager" ( https://aka.ms/gcm/rename ). If you go to the directory for that executable (C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin for git >=2.36.1), you can see there's two executables for "git-credential-manager", one with the "-core.exe" and the other without. If you see the properties of both, you can see they are the same, and on the details for the one with the "-core.exe", you can see that the original filename is "git-credential-manager.exe". – Esteban Jan 08 '23 at 19:04
