TortoiseGit - The coolest Interface to Git Version Control TortoiseGit is a Windows Shell Interface to Git based on TortoiseSVN. It's open source and can be built entirely with freely available software. TortoiseGit supports you with regular tasks, such as committing, showing logs, diffing two versions, creating branches and tags, creating patches and so on (see our Screenshots or documentation). Download The latest release and language packs are available on the download page. There you can also find the system requirements and latest release notes. The TortoiseGit team also provides preview releases on an irregular basis. These versions are used by the TortoiseGit developers and are built from the latest code that represents the cutting edge of the TortoiseGit development. TortoiseGit includes a crash reporter (if not disabled on installation), which automatically uploads crash dumps to drdump.com, where the TortoiseGit team can review them. If you have a reproducible example, please also file an issue and link the crash report. We have a special page describing steps for debugging, where the majority of these steps do not require you to build TortoiseGit on your own. How Can I Contribute? You're welcome to contribute to this project! There are several aspects you can help on: improving our documentation (see doc/readme.txt file and doc folder), translations, testing preview releases, helping other users on the mailing lists, improving our UIs, or also coding (e.g., fix open issues or implement new features). How to build Building TortoiseGit is usually not necessary; however, it is easy. All necessary requirements and steps are described in the build.txt file. Our short description in the architecture.txt file might also be helpful.
