TortoiseGit is by far the best Git GUI on Windows or anywhere else. The UI is light, fast and it stays out of your way. It's very tightly integrated with the file browser, which is really the only app I want to be using to look at my files... SourceTree OTOH is slow and clunky on every platform. But even if it had a light and fast UI - it's not integrated with my file browser, which sucks. With TortoiseGit, every Git command that I need is a single click away when I'm viewing my files.

if tortoisegit is the best there is (that's what I use since forever when I'm not actually in msysgit's shell, and usually I am - never tried anything else), then there's quite a lot of room for a better GUI client. I mean, tortoise gets the job done, but it isn't what I'd consider fast or convenient.

  It's not the best - there is Tower now.

>TortoiseGit is by far the best Git GUI on Windows or anywhere else I disagree. GitExtensions is by far the best Windows UI for Git.

+1 for TortoiseGit . It works very well.

It's nice for being integrated with explorer, but far from the best ui. In fact I'd hold up TortoiseGit as an example of why knowing a a ui toolkit does not make a programmer a ui expert: it's a pretty terrible ui. Don't get me wrong: If you know git well and are familiar with how to use TortoiseGit then it's functional. It's just not a good first exposure to git, nor is it easy to learn.
