- bilban 16y agoAlthough I like the CLI interface to some of these tools, I think to get people using them you need nice GUI tools and sadly these are lacking - or rather they were when I last looked.
- pstuart 16y agoFor git, perhaps, but subversion has Tortoise SVN which integrates nicely with windows explorer. And I just googled before posting, but it looks like it's been ported to git: http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit
- bilban 16y agoI was trying to turn on some applers to the joy of svn, and the tools at the time were immature, though that was two years back. Tortoise was great on windows though. I thought GIT didn't play well with windows - so a git-tortoise would be welcome. The article at least implies that you'd be better off on the command line and it's not that bad. But my experience is that to others it can be a turn off.
