- voltagex_ 12y agoI prefer SourceTree from Atlassian, but GitHub for Windows may be easier for beginners.
- V-2 12y agoThere's also Git Extensions: https://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/ https://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/ I was discouraged by early releases of SourceTree for Windows because it was buggy. I believe it has improved by now, but I got used to Git Extensions already. It's open source and written in C#, by the way - I keep on planning to fork it and make it more to my liking, just can't find time for that :) If I recall well, the GitHub app doesn't provide any branch visualization, correct me if I'm wrong. Git Extensions could be a good choice for teaching, because you get a preview of what commands are being executed by the client. It's not a blackbox that hides what Git does underneath.
- chadzawistowski 12y agoGitHub for Windows is definitely too simplistic, though attractive. I use the TK-based `git gui` which comes with git regardless of OS.
