Installing TortoiseGit
Posted by Eric Kidd Sun, 11 Jan 2009 09:55:00 GMT
On December 12th, Frank Li released TortoiseGit 0.1. When we downloaded this initial release at work, we were underwhelmed:
| git log | OK, but not as good as gitk |
| git commit | Broken |
On January 4th, however, Frank Li released TortoiseGit 0.2. He’d been extremely busy:
| git log | OK, but not as good as gitk |
| git commit | OK (except for add and rm) |
| git add | Broken (see Bug 6 for workaround) |
| git rm | Broken |
| git status | OK |
| git pull | OK |
| git push | OK |
| SSH | OK (tested with PuTTY) |
| git clone | Always clones to home directory (see Bug 8) |
| Clean merge | OK |
| Conflicted merge | Manual, as with command-line tool |
| Submodules | No support |
Basically, TortoiseGit 0.2 is almost usable, and the project is proceeding at a breakneck pace. If you have Windows users that you want to migrate to Git—and who don’t want to use the command-line tool—it’s worth a look.
Installation instructions follow.
