When creating a CI/CD job, what does defining Source Control Management (SCM) credentials enable?

In SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery, each CI/CD job is linked to a remote Git repository.

DefiningSCM credentialsenables the job to:

Authenticate against Git (for example, GitHub, GitLab, SAP Git).

Retrieve theproject source codeduring pipeline execution.

Clone the repository and run build, test, and deploy steps.

This aligns precisely withA.

Incorrect options:

B:Credentials are not “managed” by the job; they are only used for authentication.

C:The CI/CD service never modifies source code automatically.
