What is TortoiseGit?

TortoiseGit is a Windows Shell Interface that provides a comprehensive set of tools for managing Git repositories. It is open-source software that can be built using freely available resources, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Unlike IDE-specific integrations, TortoiseGit can be used with any development tools and file types, seamlessly integrating with the Windows Explorer context menu. It supports a variety of common Git operations, including committing changes, viewing logs, comparing file versions, creating branches and tags, and generating patches. As an open-source project licensed under the GPL, TortoiseGit can be used without any restrictions, even in commercial environments, and the source code is available for modifications or custom developments if desired
