GitHub for Windows 2.0

Re:GitHub for Windows 2.0 by recursive on Monday June 09, 2014 @01:26PM (#7869391)

I've only ever used git from Windows. But I've used about four or five different clients. I've been surprised how awkward they all seem. The smoothest experience seems to be SourceTree from my experience. Most of them don't approach the level of polish and smooth experience that TortoiseSVN provided 10 years ago. I'm hoping this new client does better.

I have to agree that SourceTree provides the best Git experience on Windows (I've used quite a few GUIs on Windows, including Github's offering). That said, the weakest part is still the command line interface (but people on Windows are already used to it, or don't know what they're missing).

I agree. This is very sad state of affairs.

At my workplace I'm trying to drum up support for git, but the poor Windows tools are a hindrance.
