Can't find a decent git gui for windows. Anyone know of one?

Question

I'm running win7 and need a good git client with a GUI. I like bash but it feels clunky in windows. the GUI that comes with the windows package at git's website is missing a lot of stuff too. I'm considering switching to Ubuntu and using Gedit + git instead. What should I do? stay in windows and use Aptana or Komodo with another git client, or switch to Debian/Ubuntu and use the tools there?

Answer 1

You can find all the exisiting Git FrontEnd GUI in this page.

MSysGit just released a "Cheetah" edition, which should be on par with a TorToiseSVN.
Waiting for Cheetah full integration, TortoiseGit is already available

The Eclipse Egit plugin also makes progress. (see its wiki)

For all those tools, I manage just fine with Git on Windows.

Answer 2

You can use gitextensions with Visual Studio. Otherwise I believe you're going to need to get acquianted with the command line.

You should also take a look at

• QGit (there is also a windows downoad)
• TortoiseGit (This is a port of TortoiseSvn
