Git for Windows Description

If you are involved in software development even in the littlest of ways, then chances are you have probably heard about Git, a popular and powerful source code management and version control system.

Git for Windows is a lightweight and user-friendly piece of software that offers an accessible way to work with Git regardless if you are a beginner or a more experienced user.

Integrates Git Bash and Git GUI into Windows

It makes all that possible by providing two native and very useful tools, namely Git Bash and Git GUI.

As you probably may have guessed, the Git GUI is practically what makes this utility so desirable, as it offers a more tangible and direct way to run Git-specific functions without having to use the native command line (Git Bash).

Easy to install and easy to get to grips with

The utility undergoes a surprise-free and swift installation process, subsequent to which you can access its aforementioned native tools via the Windows Explorer contextual menu, by right-clicking on any folder.

The main window of Git GUI is thoroughly thought-out and it is split into two main parts, namely the Changes panel (displays unstaged and staged changes) on the left side and the Commit section on the right.

Forget about command line functions and say hello to Git GUI

The user interface is not impressive but it is very functional and looks right at home on modern versions of Windows. Accessing all the utility’s main features is easily achievable thanks to a classic menu bar.

Therefore, you can effortlessly explore repository files, view the branch history, get accurate database statistics and even compress and verify the database. You can create, rename, checkout and delete branches, add new or rescan commits, as well as add new or remove already existing custom development tools.

The power of Git, now at just a couple of clicks away

Taking all of the above into consideration, Git for Windows is a must-have tool for developers, especially novice ones, that want an accessible way to work with Git SCM directly from their computer’s desktops.
