Installing Tortoise Git for Windows

I’ve used Tortoise SVN for years and it makes things really easy for getting started with Subversion and integrating smoothly with Windows. However Git is a more confusing world. There’s two installations and neither one clearly refers to the other.

However it boils down to the following (you can accept all the defaults in the installation):

  1. Install Git for Windows (http://git-scm.com/download/win)
  2. Install Tortoise Git (https://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/wiki/Download)

      No I didn’t – although the capabilities of Git isn’t the problem – just getting started is the problem.
