How to use git command line via SourceTree on Windows

Question

I am currently using SourceTree on Windows 7. If I run into any problems with my git repository the solutions online always rely on the command line. Is there anyway to enter these commands in SourceTree?

Answer 1

From the Actions menu select Open In terminal. You will be presented with a poor shell in which you can use git commands

Answer 2

Another way to open that poor shell is just by clicking on Terminal icon in the main window

Answer 3

You can also use Sourcetree's embedded git from the terminal. Add this to your powershell profile:

Add-PathVariable "${env:UserProfile}\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_local\bin"
