I can bypass clicking around in Explorer by adding this batch file (named tgit.bat) to somewhere in my path (I usually add c:\bin to the path for this reason). I use TortoiseGit to help stage commits and for visualising the log. You will need to restart any open command prompts to get the path change to work, rebooting is usually the fastest way to make sure the change has gone through (logging out and in may work too).

There are some steps that I have to Google myself too every time, because I don’t install Git & TortoiseGit everyday.


It takes care of setting up key files, messing with paths, and making everything play nice with Github. I wanted a set of instructions for my colleagues and friends when they want to setup Git and TortoiseGit on Windows (connected to Bitbucket).I use GitHub for Windows to get up and running quickly with GitHub on a new machine.

I mainly use Git on the command line, with TortoiseGit for staging commits and visualising logs and Beyond Compare for diffs and merges. These are the steps I use to set up a new PC with Git. ~/Get running fast on GitHub and BitBucket
